9 inch Assemble Instructions?
9 inch Assemble Instructions? I am getting a 9 inch soon but not sure if I want/can put it
together. The center section will be setup. Just have no clue how
the axles/backing plates go in or how long it would take.

Found these articles sounds like its pretty easy on a 9 inch but still
would like detailed instructions for axle install.

It's very simple if you take your time and be aware of a few things.
1. Make sure your center section is compatible with your axles. I installed my center without counting the splines on the spool and it ended up being 33 spline and my axles were 35.
2. The backing plates are side specific. Make sure they are on the correct sides before you install the axles into the housing. I didn't have the tools at my house to reverse this, so it ended up being additional expense to go to my mechanic.
3. Once everything is installed, don't forget about the vent. I forgot to put mine in and ended up with gear oil everywhere.
Just beginners mistakes that I know I'll never make again.
