Re: LockDoc's "Low Budget", "Low Maintenance" Project Thread

I've been working on the replacement 4.10 center section for the rear end. I not only had to replace the pinion seal but I also had to install a pinion seal repair sleeve. I could tell when I looked at it that the seal was going to need replaced. The yoke had a pretty good groove in it when I disassembled it. I filled it with JB Weld and installed the repair sleeve while the epoxy was still wet. I only had to pull the axles out far enough to clear the center section when I removed it.. I had to figure out how to get the center section up in the air far enough to get the transmission jack under it so I put a piece of steel pipe across two of the frame cross members and put a rachet strap over the pipe and around the bottom of the center section. I just tightened the rachet strap up until the center section was high enough to get the jack under it. I cut the heads off of 2 bolts and screwed them into the housing to use as guide pins to locate the center section. (you can see one of them in the 8th picture) When I got it high enough I just slid it onto the pins and put the bolts in. Before I slid it all the way back I put some "Right Stuff" sealant on the gasket. The rest of the pictures are the gasket, and specs on the gasket, seal, and repair sleeve.

Nice work on the Rachet strap lifter device.
30 years ago, you would have done that differently?
