The original rear end is complete!....minus brakes. Those will be put on later. I know I mentioned in an earlier post about doing a 14 bolt swap, that may be a future upgrade but I'll stick with this axle for now.
Ring gear, pinion, and bearings all looked good so the only things replaced were seals and gaskets. I found a cheap 1 5/8" socket at Napa to grind down and make it fit the pinion nut.
Gaskets, seals and other miscellaneous stuff used: SKF 99259 yoke sleeve Fel-pro 55350 axle shaft flange gasket (x2) Fel-pro RDS5090 carrier gasket Fel-pro RDS5088 cover gasket National 411330N pinion seal National 2081 wheel seal (x2) GM 3758222 pinion retainer gasket New 8.5" x 2.5" U bolts
