I guess he must figure that if a soft top costs ~$600, then a hard top must be worth twice that %) ...but I tell ya what...if he sells that thing, I know what I'll be doing with my hard top real soon!

Oh, that...yeah, I got one of those. There goes that theory %) Anyway...I put new shoes and wheel cylinders in plus the new drums. All stuff from the 76-77 brakes...and it works!! Time will tell if there's any leakage, but I'll be watching it...right now though, (after 1 day) it all seems...

Cool...one more thing...I think the reason the seals are leaking is cuz there isn't any vent for the rear diff. I looked around and couldn't find anything that would be a vent. How would I go about adding one?? I don't want to just go drilling holes in the axle housing do I? Also, how can I...

Oh, by the way...the wheel cylinder on the driver's side leaks like a siv...and when I checked the fluid, the small reservior was dry!! (the big one was fine) I wonder how long I've been running with no rear brakes?!? :o

OK...thanks again for everyone's input...Here's what I know now, after pulling the whole thing apart. It's a large bearing - good. The bolt pattern is 3-1/2" x 2" That seemed weird...the studs are 3/8" So I guess it could be 3-9/16", but it sure didn't look like it...I was using a tape...

So, can I conclude that whatever backing plate is currently installed is correct for the axle/axle housing? Is it possible to install the wrong backing plate? Axle? From the pictures on the wild horses site (VERY helpful BTW, Thank you very much ;D ) I think it's the 76/77 like you guessed...

OK...I don't know if it's an 8.8" rear end. that's all I need to measure? The bearing and the stud? What's the stud? %) I'll figure this out yet!

Well...I've got my baby back from the doctor now, but she's still sick. To his credit though, my mechanic didn't charge me for any of his work since he wasn't able to fix the problem. So now I'm back to square one. Here's what I was told: The drums currently installed are 11" x 2-1/2"...

Well here's another question, while I'm waiting to be called back. I brought my mechanic a pair of complete rear brake assemblies. The whole thing that slides on those 4 bolts behind the axle, plus the drums. These came off a '73 I think and I got them free from one of the other great people...

OK...thanks for the interest...What I know: Oil is leaking into the brake drum from the axle casing and gunking it all up and there's a disturbing clanky sound kind of like if you put a penny in the dryer by itself and let it run when I drive (not quite that bad, but irregular like that would...

Thanks...the shop is good though, the guy's not an expert on 4x4's, but he does good work, doesn't do extra stuff I don't need, and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. He called me about 30 mins after I dropped it off to tell me that something wasn't kosher. I'm pretty sure the guy I bought it...

OK...so I'm having some trouble with the rear brakes on my bronco. It's in the shop now, but apparantly it's not the stock rear end (big surprise %) ). So my question to the experts is this: How can I (or my mechanic) figure out where this rear end came from? (I need this info so we can get...

Payment sent. Thank you!

I want one too! That is sweet! Can I have one too? What number are you on now? Let me know where to send the $ (Paypal?) and I will do it today. PM me OK. Can't wait for a 9" one too! Being able to see the gears is just too cool!
