Ahh yes, finally putting some of these shiney new parts to good use. Tonights progress:
before pic for reference
pulled shafts/brake parts and replaced oil seals
While I had it part I figured I'd replace the pinion seal, so out comes everything
replaced seal, threw it together with a new crush sleeve, backlash was in spec so I checked the pattern just for shits
I'm not 100% happy with it. I had someone else do it, and its obvious that the pinion is too shallow (even more noticable on the coast side). Oh well, no problems thus far, I'm sure it'll be fine.
new dutchman 1541 alloy shafts :smokin:
buttonned it up and slung some paint
and after
Yeah I know, there's no rotors on it. My old ones were siezed pretty good, so I just took a sledge to em. They came off. I'll pick up new rotors tomorrow, redrill em for 5 on 5.5 bc and slap em on there. I left the e-brake/backing plate crap off so I don't have to deal with that shit again. I don't have an e-brake cable anyways.
I'm pretty pleased with how it sits on the 35's. I don't think I'll have to trim much to keep the ride height I have now. My frame height should be right at the legal limit also (24").
