Just wanted to give a big thanks to Chris for helping me out with my 9 inch install. He helped me bigtime all day yesterday and on top of it fed me lunch/dinner. LOL!!!! Also our other buddy Tom came through with a bearing press for the axles. Thanks again guys.

I'm glad we got it in and done too. Now you can really go have fun with it and not worry about if it's going to break.
Alot of the trouble we had putting it in was not from us. One thing that really killed about 4 hours on the install from wrong backing plates.
Your stock rear was also installed with a huge impact gun with 200 ftpnd setting. I had to beast off all the bolts because my gun wouldn't even get them off.
Thanks for the shoutout and it's always good working on friends cars to make them go faster. Now get out there and beat it.

No we ended up haveing to take his ten bolt apart and remove his backing plates, the take apart the 9 inch for it's backing plates then take the axles to the only shop we could find that was open which is a freind of ours and had to press the bearing off and switch plates then press back on. Then go put the rear back together. All of this being done in the sun with a 108 deg heat index. So any longer out there was bad. Justin talked to the seller and he is at least going to pay for pressing the bearings on and off. It just really pissed us off to do this while sweating our asses off in the heat. It's done now so no big deal.

Hey guys, in the end the rear got done and not a big deal. Huge thanks again to everyone involved for helping me out with this. I got a great deal on the part and it works flawlessly and is in great shape to boot. Everyone runs into problems working on cars. Yes it sucks when its hot out but its done and its a thing of the past.
