First step today was giving the rear end a bath. I loaded it up and headed to the carwash.
I then jockeyed into position.....which with the help of my hoist was shockingly easy.
I tacked a piece of flat strap (I did not have any square tubing on hand) at the new axle centerline. New axle centerline is 1" rearward to stock to center the wheel in the fender better.
I tacked the carrier to the flat strap and then used a floor jack to set the pinion angle.
Then as I was going to tack the carrier into place....I ran out of welding wire. 4 tacks from putting the tires on and checking ride height and I was dead in my tracks!!
