Install has begun....removed most everything yesterday and put the cross member in. Keeping track of the weight of everything for before and after. Stock pinion seal was leaking pretty good.....again.
Yes ....I park my car on carpet

I'm taking some pics as I go. Got everything pressed on today and axles installed. Had a compressor issue that set me back a day. Hope to get it up in the car tomorrow if I can swing it by myself.... If not Sunday. After that it should go pretty quick.

Got everything in yesterday. All I have left is to tighten everything down and order some new brake lines (I don't want to bend my stock ones). I'm finding these fittings are a bit hard to fine since one line has two different sizes on it. I'll post some pics later.

10 bolt out
Got everything assembled
This rear is much more awkward than the 10bolt. I don't like buying tools I'm only going to use once so I took the seat off my roller and used that to move the 9".
No way this was being jacked up with one guy without some type of support. Took me about 10 minutes to make with scrap 1/2" plywood. It's a 4" holesaw and a 2" long piece of 2x4 to support the pinion. I also drilled holes for a zip tie to keep it from rolling backwards, but a piece of wire would work well also.
Worked great and was pretty stable. As you can see the 4" hole was so the bottom of the torque arm bracket can hang down.

I finally got new rear brake lines in. It took me some time to locate a bubble flair tool. There were some videos on how to do them with a double flair tool but I couldn't get it to look good and didn't want to take a chance.
The lines were pretty simple to install.....there were quite a few threads on how it was difficult. I don't see what all the fuss is over.
In case anyone is interested Car quest auto has bubble flair tools for rent.

Yeah, I had to notch out a section of the seat back brace directly above the tunnel on mine after I installed my MWC FAB-9, that's why I was asking. BTW, I also check your clearance up front since there's a plug on the side of the trans that fairly close to the top of the front pivot arm. I ended up cutting mine off at the start of the top holes.

Won't get above 60 till next season, it's going into storage. Just not enough time to put 500mi on it. Never heard about that blink though.
I've had mine come on before if I'm on the freeway on longer drives, but not if I'm on the freeway for like a few minutes. The last time mine did it I cleaned the contacts on the sensors, and removed the sensors and cleaned the magnetic ends. I've had no reoccurring ABS light since then, but I wouldn't be surprised if it comes on again.
Here's a thread I made on my Moser 9" install.
