Moser 9" install guide
Few questions:
1. Where do I get a new u-joint?
2. It says to use a bench vise... I have something like picture below... Is that good enough?
3.Where do you fill it with gear oil?
Sorry for these dummy questions... I don't have a f-body... Just helping out a friend install his rear.
EDIT: Is there anywhere I can get the pictures that were supposed to be on that page?
Part 2: Driveshaft Prep
Time To Complete: Less than a hour
If using a stock drive shaft you need to remove the old ujoint. Put your driveshaft on your work bench using a vise and tightening it against the side of the ujoint that isnt connected to the ds. Heat up the joints where they touch the driveshaft until the nylon filling comes out. Use a rubber hammer and tap the driveshaft down so the bearing/joint pops out. do this on both sides. get your new 1330 u-joint out and remove the two bearings that are to be put into the drive shaft. Grease the inside of them to prevent the bearings from falling out (not fun). Place on bearing into the outside of the driveshaft. Put the driveshaft in the vise with it pressing on the bearing on one side, and the driveshaft on the other. Put the ujoint into the bearing in the driveshaft and line it up. Press the bearing in. Do this on the other side as well. Grab a socket that is just slightly smaller than the bearing. On one side press the bearing in past the inside line of the driveshaft. Attach the supplied inside snap ring. Do this to the other side as well. Tap the driveshaft with a rubber hammer to 'seat' the bearings back in. The joint should move pretty freely now. Your driveshaft is now ready to be installed.

1) Napa usually carries them or you can call me and I'll send you one out.
2) Yes, but I usually take out the jaws and use a bead blow hammer to remove and replace the u-joints.
3) Behind the TA mound on the center section it self, there is a plug or you can fill by the vent, 3 quarts max.
Had to take them down, I fired the old web guys and they were copy writed to their name. I have a new web person and I will have something up soon.
