Okay, here is today screen shot. High to be about 80.
For the rear end of the sons pickup, had to build a socket to adjust the pre~load on the side bearings, a 7/8ths inch bolt with a 1-7/16s head, a 38mm bolt head would have fit perfectly but We did`nt have a bolt that size. Ground down the head to fit into the adjusters, used a washer and jam nut for a backing so the wrench would`nt go in too deep and a 36" length of pipe and welded a cracked socket to the other end to give the drive.
Alsdo had to cut a bolt to fit between the axles to compress the clutches to get the spider gears installed, used a nut on that for a spreader. No pic of that so You`ll have to use Your imagination. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well ow, I guess You`ll really have to use Your imagination, the site would not load the screen shot nor the image of the new socket wrench. I`ll try again a bit later.
I need to get on the installation of backing plates and the rst of the differential, bleeding brakes etc.

:thumbs: Marty, I am amazed how you can figure that stuff out. Not much of a mechanic on this end.

Another beautiful day here. Had some more lightening, thunder and rain last night. The storm seemed to be centered more to the south of us, I hope they didn`t get anything too bad.
And, I`ll try to post in the pics. of the socket and the spreader bolt. Maybe this time it`ll work.
