Well, got the 4:56 ring and pinion & posi-trac dropped into the D44 last week by Shamu's gear guy and got it back to the house last Sunday night. Then had to head out of town to New Braunfels, TX (basically San Antonio) to visit family for the holidays....so no Bronco time from Wed-Sunday. Hit the road out of New Braunfels this morning at 7 am, made the 4 hour drive back to Dallas and started wrenching the minute I walked in the door.
Got the axle re-connected, new 7 deg. C bushings in, 4.5" WH coil springs installed and almost everything put back together. Have to button up a few small things tomorrow and she should be done! It's not the most robust set up but maybe it will get me off of the "bunny slopes"!
Still looking for for a 28 spline detroit locker in time for K2 and then plan to eventually upgrade to 31 spline & descent axels when the $ is there.
Other than loosing the ring/spring seat that the spring sits on inside the hub, I can honestly say that it is the first project that I didn't encounter ANY unexpected road blocks. Everything just seemed to slide into place. (anyone know if I can pic one of those rings up at a NAPA or OReillys?)
The ratchet strap technique and dish soap trick (thanks 73 stallion) seemed to really help.
It was a GOOD DAY! ;D
