Ford 8.8 axle swap

<< < (34/43) > >>

Axle:
I refilled your bottle, Scott, and I bought an extra one.  I was just going to spend the extra $30 bucks and get an 80 cubic ft. bottle, but I didn't think you wanted to haul it around!  ;D  Anyway, hopefully two bottle's are enough to cover everything.  See you tomorrow.

Axle:
The welding is all done and it looks great!  I don't think I could get those brackets off if I tried.  The paint is going on now, and tonight I will put it all back together.  Unfortunately, since Alex snapped the head off of one of my shock mount bolts, I am wary about putting the axle under the jeep until I can get it out.  I have been using an easy out to get the old bolt out, but it's so frozen in there it won't budge.  I don't want to get the easy out broken off in there, and I've already broken 2 heavy duty drill bits trying to drill it out.  That, and I've almost used a full can of PB.  If I can get a sawzall or air hammer in there, then I will just cut all of off and put a new bolt and nut in there. 

HOT-ROD:
i have a chop saw

rocket:
a grinder w/ a cutting blade will cut through it like butter!  let me know if you need to borrow it!

HOT-ROD:
pic's of said cutting.
