The SawZall did the trick
I did go through 4 Cobalt blades and took a little bit of the frame off, but the project is done.
Oh by the way,if you do the LCA's remember to drop the swap bar bolts in the holes before you line up the LCA and put the rear bolt in
I have'nt lowered the beast down to test the BMR's yet.
I'm still working on the rear end which turned into a major project
Originally I was just going to replace the stock gasket with FelPro and check the bearings, but after opening it up and finding a ton of metal chips,the spider gears chewed up,holes in the thrust washers and axle bearings pitted, it was time for more beer
I should probably post this some where else but ...
I pulled the carrier out and cleaned out the whole rear end
then I installed a pair of Timken Axle saver bearings and had a new Eaton Posi overnighted
But got held up when the stock bearing's did'nt fit on the Eaton's carrier journals??
too bad because i was so close
So I've got to give West coast differentials
a call this mornin to see what's up with that
good thing I still got a Pickup truck
