Rear End, Axles and Brakes
Two steps forward Three back. Once i had the diff in and started doing the brakes i started to notice alot of slop in the clutch packs to the diff carrier. That meant tearing it back out and rebuilding with a set of new clutches and discs. Checked the pinion backlash and shimmed for each side and then reinstalled. First picture is the new carbon clutches. I had never done this before. Pretty straightforward
Rest of the pictures are the brakes, rear end and axles all in. One thing I caught during restoration. The 12 bolt cover bolts were different on the 2 clips and upper larger clip for the brake lines. I can only assume on the line they took out what came from the axle assembly guys, tossed them out and grabbed new ones as the bolt head markings are different. Hope you guys can see that in the picture.
