Hey guys again thanks for your help on my rear axle questions on my other post.
I have chosen to rebuild/refresh the 10.5 3/4 ton full floater i have. I dont want to cut off perches on that 1ton i have and move them.
So i have starting taking the axle apart all looks good. no metal chunks or burs on the ring gear and even the fluid wasnt bad.
questions...
1.disc brake conversion or leave it drum
2.how do i remove the wheel studs from the drum so i can replace the bearings and the drum
3.what eles should i check or look through while refreshing this axle.
This is a refresh mostly not a total rebuild.
ANY PICS WOULD BE GREAT!!
its a open carrier now but i may put a limited slip in. not sure. i just bought a 2009 silverado from a chevy dealer soo now i have payments lol
I have included pics.
Thanks
Liam
