I looked at the explorer axle swap info in the tech area. It answered quite a few questions but it didn't answer how to hook up the brake lines or the e brake cables. I got a 99 ranger 4x4 with a 7.5". It's a 4.0 with a manual tranny. What should the pinion angle be? I think those are all my questions. Anyone who's done the swap and has tips let me know.
I pulled the axle off a 97 explorer. Got discs on it. Had golden gear oil and all the gears look immaculate. Got limited slip. So happy to get rid of my open 7.5"!! Busted a spider gear so that's what prompted this.
Btw it had a 3.0 stock so yes it is a 7.5" unfortunately.
