Quote: If you look through the big hole in the axle you will see it is used to get to the 5 bolts holding the axle in. Remove those bolts and pull the axles out about 4" and you can drop the pumpkin out the front. After you remove the nuts holding it on the rearend housing of course. What are you having your buddy do to it?
Great. I'll go check it out right now.
He'll be installing new bearings and seals, big bolt pattern axles, and swapping out my gears in the 489 case from an open 2.76 to a 3.55 with a Truetrac diff. I met him on FABO, he's been building differentials and transmissions for about 30 years now.
