Re: Moser 12-bolt Owners... install question -8 nuts for the t-bolts
-3" u clamps for the sway bar bushings and just spread the stock clamsheel in a vice so the 3" u bolt will slide through
-some rubber hose for a vent line
-teflon tape for all the rear girdle bolts, fill plug, drain plug ( they will leak if not )
-correct u joint on Driveshaft
-3 quarts gear oil
-axle bearings may need to be pressed in ( depending if you opted for the backing plates )
You can drop the stock rear w/o disconnecting the brakelines. You may need an adj PHR to re-center the rear end

Re: Moser 12-bolt Owners... install question Everything they mentioned is right on. You must also get the seals pressed onto the driveshafts, and a buddy to help balance, and line things up. I would wait to install the axles until you mount the housing to the car. Just makes it a little lighter to maneuver into place.
Re: Moser 12-bolt Owners... install question Do put sealant on the bolts they will leak! Trust me. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
Re: Moser 12-bolt Owners... install question A buddy and a twelve pack that should get you started <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Moser 12-bolt Owners... install question they sent me the bolts and all that jazz! I bought sway bar brackets from bmr, make sure you mock it up before welding. The biggest problem for me was getting the fill plug out of the 12 bolt, hard to find an allen wrench that big. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
