Hyde builds some axles! 92 V6 on 38s build thread
Photobucket sucks. Im Sorry. Maybe one day ill get them all hosted elsewhere.
After doing the Chevy 63" spring swap, I realized that my axles needed some work to handle the 38" TSLs that Im going to run. Nothing too crazy planned, just some simple durable axles. So here goes nothing.
EDIT: All my photos were hosted on photobucket... there is an add on for google chrome that will re show the pictures.
Ive got a full build thread over on "that other site" too if anyone is interested. HERE
My current rear axle was shot. Had rust holes in the top of diff cover and some pretty bad rock rash on the bottom of the cover. It was yanked and replaced with a housing from a 95 pickup, which I added some TG armorand low profile drain plugs and cleaned off all the tabs I wasnt going to use.
It needed a wheel bearing, so from following this site I chopped up my old housing
And cleaned up and painted
We dont have a press, so I took it to a friends house, and forgot my camera, but this is how it works int he press. Photo taken from the link above
Marlin axle seals
And new shoes and hardware
The gears needed to be swapped because they dont match any other 3rds that I have. So Im taking the spool out of this one and putting it in a v6 4.10 diff.
The bearings were the original ones from 92, and where showing signs of wear, so they are getting replaced too.
Ruff stuff lower shock mounts on the way, and I should have my 3rd update next weekend after I pickup the 4.10s.
85 front axle to come next!
