Gears & Axles - New 9" Going In

So I dropped my 10 bolt tonight finally. I've never messed with one of these rear ends and it only took me about 30 minutes to pull the axles and driveshaft so I could take them to RPM were they pressed the bearings onto my axles and removed the old ujoint. Once I made it home it took me about another hour to remove the housing. I will be receiving my new housing tomorrow and I am going to paint it with some Eastwood Chassis Black I have laying around. I'll probably end up waiting until Wednesday to put it under the car.

Nice. You can do mine when I get one then! :D

It really wasn't the challenge I was expecting.

I am now dead in the water, however, while I wait for new hardware. The hardware that came with the housing was not quality stuff, so they are sending me more; which means I am forced to wait until Friday or Saturday to finish.

Im doing the same thing..Just waiting on my axles to get here now....

Looks good. Have you tried to pull the studs for the third member through the housing? When I did I stripped two of them without much force. QP said that I received bad hardware and they are sending me more. I am upset about it though because I had a tuning session scheduled for Friday that I had to cancel, and now my car is another week out from being done.

No I havent done that yet, Maybe tonight. So your swapping a 9" for a 9"?

No, I had the 10 bolt in there that I took out. I changed my sig when I ordered the 9" because I was excited. :)

Quick Performance was awesome and overnighted me better hardware that I received today. I then proceeded to install the new rear end. It took me about 4 hours to get to where I'm at now, about 98% done. I will take some pics tomorrow of the new rear.

Here it is under the car. I scratched it up a bit putting it in so I have some more sanding and painting to do. I have not bought clamps for the rear swaybar yet but I will be doing that later today.
