Ford 8.8 axle swap
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:
