nice ryan. looks good!

 

And just so every one know. If you ever get your calipers mixed up and you cant tell the difference between the driver and passenger side.......... the bleeder screw all ways faces up, and will be at the highest point on the caliper.


So if you install your calipers and bleeder screw in pointing at the ground. You Have Them On The Wrong Side.....

 

Those brake hoses look familiar.
Nice work man. You get the rear conversion started yet?

 

I have not started the rears yet... thanks

What wheels are you putting on?

Weld rodlites
15x8 in the rear 5.5 back spacing
15x7 in the front 5.5 back spacing.

Ill be ordering the wheels next week some time

 

What wheels are you putting on?

 

Looking good, buddy!

 

Timely post. This is my next project. Did you get everything on ebay?

 

The brake lines and rear wheel bearing/seals i got from latemodelresto, every thing else is from ebay. But the calipers i bought had messed up pistons so i turned them in as core charges at the local auto parts store and got some that were already rebuilt. I turns out that rebuilding the ebay ones would have cost almost as much as getting some that were already rebuild. So i figure, id save my self some work

The rotors were bought new from ebay and the braks pads were also from the local auto part store

Lol. I dont mean to get this going again.. but.....
Arent those rotors backwards! ?!? Haha

No....lol

But i wish i had just bought some OEM rotors. After i got them, i kept reading thread after thread about drilled rotors cracking... so ill just keep my fingers crossed

 

Lol. I dont mean to get this going again.. but.....
Arent those rotors backwards! ?!? Haha

 

BRAVO SIR! It looks great dude. I am so glad you are figuring all this out for me, er, um, I mean, keep up the great work dude! lol

Seriously, I am fricking impressed man. It looks great. How long did the front take you?

 

The passenger side took a long time cuz i didnt know what i was doing and i didnt have a big ****ing hammer. The driver side took about 1 1/2-2 hours

 

Here is the link, to the guy i bought my ball joint spacers from. They fit perfect.

Im not knocking any one for using washers from home depot, but if you want some thing that was made just for this job, with no slop. This is the way to go. It was worth the 12 bucks to me

Thanks for the link. I think this will be my first purchase to get the damn ball rolling finally! lol

EDIT: I just took the plunge, I can finally say I have begun buying parts! lol Thanks again dude!

 

Will the stock Fox master cylinder work with this setup?

 

The research ive done.... says yes, if your plan is to keep the rear drum brakes. Then its best to keep the stock master cylinder, and brake booster.

If rear disk brakes are used then upgrading the master cylinder and booster, will need to be done.

Ill let you know if this is true once im back on the road..... lol

 

TX93SSP, just curious but do people work in your town?

 

Hey dude, it took me a second but I chuckled. If that makes you feel better...lol!

 

Welfare, TX. lol.

 

Hole ****..... this part was easy.....

Opened up the diff, then removed the 8mm bolt, slid out the pin. Pushed in both axles, pulled both C-clips, pulled both axles, removed both seals.

I need to get a bearing puller, tomorrow

 

How come I couldn't get so lucky with my carrier pin? That's twice now... Vert rear and my rear when I put the 3.55's in.

 

And wtf are those cowboy boots for? You a country hick Ryan???? :facepalm:

 

The boots are not mine.....lol

Im a metal head, but ill play a little country here and there.

What do you get when you play a country song backwards ? You get you house back, your wife back, your job back and your dog back...looool

 

Ok. "The boots are not mine" followed immediately by "I'll play a little country here and there". We have ourselves a hick in the closet boys! lmao!

Oh ****, I just forgot Ryan was gonna help me with my 5 lug. I should be nice. Hey dude, I think country is awesome, and so are cowboy boots. Wear them with pride! lol

Just playing with you dude. Looks awesome! Keep up the good work my friend!

 

Any one have a picture of where the fill hole or holes are on the diff housing ? I must be blind cuz i cant find it

 

No, but it is forward of the diff cover. On the left, just above half way up IIRC.

 

Square hole that a 3/8 drive rachet or extension fits in. And you should put the cover back on before you fill it. Just my .02 cents.

 

Oh im not filling now, i just want to get the bolt loose. So is the hole on the drive shaft side of the housing ?

 

Okay i found it. Its on the drivers side, on the front side of housing, half way up. Damn thats going to be a bitch to fill up.

 

Ok, didn't I just say almost exactly the same thing? lol

See below, I posted this a bit ago:

Aw.. thank you sir....that pump thing slip my mind. Im in nirvana, due to how well todays car project went, i really thought this was going to be a bad day cuz ive never opened up my diff. Ill keep my fingers croseed that the rest goes as well.

Lol. Yep thats what you said.....lmao

 

Don't forget to put limited slip additive back in with your lube. Summit sells it the cheapest.

Ford Racing M-19546-A1 - Ford Racing Friction Modifier - Overview - SummitRacing.com

 

And don't forget to NOT GET THAT **** ON YOU or you will never (and I mean until the end of time) get the smell off.

 

Today i pulled the wheel bearing and installed new bearings and seals. Slid the axles in, installed the C clips, pin, and that 8mm bolt, rtv the diff cover after removing all the old rtv that was on the surface of the mounting face. Torqued all the bolts to around 25 ft lb.
All thats left is to have the drums machined, and install new brake shoes. Add gear oil and friction modifier. Torque down front caliper brake hoses and bleed the brake system.

Ill be ordering the wheels i think friday along with lug nuts. Needless to say my car will be up on jack stands for a bit longer.
