all lincoln lockers

actually,it doesn't state in the thread if it's the bronco or not.i simply assumed this because that's the only rig i've seen him post about,and the toyota diff he pictured is set up on the axle retainers the same way as the 9".either way,the info i provided is valid.

boggin,let us know which axle you are talking about.

 

[Boggin]

sorry guys, i was talking about the b2 (7.5) not the 9".
i got one of the old axles on the bench in the garage now so tonight im gonna pull the side axles and ring gear and weld the hell out of it.

Crank the heat and wire speed all the way up on the buzz box you got



Good luck!

holy crap man....that was what,last september i asked that?way to give a quick response!

oh,and good luck with the welding.just make sure everything is clean,ditch the shims behind the side gears,and don't use the spider gears.just weld the side gears to the carrier.the cross pin will still be needed to retain the c-clips.

hahah yeah sorry for the delay

good on ya.another important point is to let it cool slowly.if you try to quench it,it'll crack for sure.

Hmmm... Welding a rotating mass, with an inherent unbalance, that could potentially kill you if it lets go... I think I'll keep out of this one.

um Gary, did I ask you for your opinion? i told you i wont be in as far as your house in her, only gonna be a trail rig and a beater for around town

 

[t120r]

Actually you did ask my opinion and I told you not to risk your life as I already have a friend cause of a lincoln locker. Not keen on having another. But hopefully you never have a problem with it and I never get the same news again.

Haha yup

 

[Boggin]

ok my buddy told me tonight that he can weld it up whenever i need him too ( 220v gas lincoln welder) so ill probably haul it out tonight and drop it off with him. a question, i dont have to re shim anything or put the ring gear back to certain specs or anything do i? just take out the shaft c clips, slide out the shafts, unbolt the ring gear/carrier and pull it out, then when the carrier is welded, bolt it back together and be done with it right? what are the torque specs on the bearing caps for it? thanks

You need to use a housing spreader to remove the carrier (Correctly) and make sure to keep the shims in tact. Once you go to reinstall it, you have to check the pattern. As it was disturbed, don't assume that the pattern will be the same. You may have to reshim to get the proper mesh. Or you can jam it in and hope for the best.
