    Cleaned up the calipers, SS pistons are in good shape. Used MM SS pin guides and reinstall the Hawk pads. Caliper mounting torque is 40#.

    Nice write-up !!

    Looks like you will have a great handling beast with added reliability knowing you took the time to do it right.

    keep the updates coming as you progress with the re-vamp/re-fresh

    How did you get you tq on the ball joint? When we did mine I seam to remember the stud in the ball joint would spin using a normal wrench. So instead dad used his impact gun...

    Thanks Rob!

    Nelson, I simply loaded the control arm by placing the floor jack under the arm and lifting slightly. Not enough to lift the car off the jack stand but for spring pressure to push the spindle againest the ballpoint and hold it.

    A year since updating! Life gets in the way I guess. Spent some time prepping a rear end for the car today. The one in it has had a pinion seal that has leaked its entire life and the seal has been replaced several times now. Prepped an other rear end today. Bearings, seals, welded the tubes, replaced the gears, replaced the diff and started cleaning it up for paint today. 3B21E866-87D1-476F-848D-33298490F491.jpg

    Fuel pump is replaced and upgraded. I had a Bosch at home. Also had to replace the relay under the seat. Pat gave me a hand doing a wheel alignment while we were there. Things seem out of square so it is up on jack stands right now. Going to check the K member squareness, differential orientation side to side and pinion angle. Might replace the clutch also. Will start after the forth. Maybe I’ll post some pictures of the procedure.
