Pinion angle and funky Ubolts

[Ricko1966]

If only they weren't seized together.. two days of pb blaster prior.. couple hours of off an on blow torch.. some milwaukee 1/2 impact. nuts moved maybe halfway up the threads before stopping again. i decided to grind off the bolts.

Next time run a tap down the bolts to the nuts first,then wire brush they threads directly behind the nuts.

Always cheaper online. Call around, find what ya want and collect the part number. Then Google the part number and find it for 40% to 80% less. Many times with next day free delivery.

If you want someone to look your stuff up for you,you should have intentions to buy it from them.Not just call to waste their time and cost them a sale. If you don't want to pay them for thier service ,you should learn how to look up your own parts.These people don't work for free.

Ya, sounds like the paint and undercoating gummed up the threads is all.

So, is your axle shifted forward or ? The pin ground off the lift blocks?
Is your driveshaft too short otherwise?

I hate to make an enemy, but me and this guy would never get along anyways. He's just tiring man, it's one thing if you want to do all the shady/selfish **** he says, it's another to comment that type of crap on every post he visits, telling other people to do it too. No common courtesy for peoples time and lives anymore. Just because they're "getting paid" and then the arrogance or whatever it is to post it all over a forum.

Again, this doesn't have to be a fight, I'm not perfect. But shame is a very important thing, and society is beginning to lose shame and morals.

Constructive criticism. That's all.
