    Rdb Q

    When you bolt in the caliper shouldn't it be centered over the rotor in the fully extended position? i.e. all the way out, no wear on the pads.

    Yesterday I ran a tap through all all the stud holes and put in all new studs, then put the rebuilt fine spline diff in. Then it got over 100 degrees and so the rest of the day was spent drinking ice cold :beer: I just noticed when going through the pics to post that I haven't staked the...

    Assembled the diff. It wasn't really difficult, just a PITA. The moment of truth is the pattern the r&p make when they contact, but you have to assemble everything and set all preloads and the backlash before checking the tooth pattern. Then, if its not right, you take it all the way back apart...

    Ready to build up the rear axle. New studs, washers and nuts. Diff ready to assemble with all new bearings and seals and a fine spline R&P. Poly Perf rears with new gaskets, studs and flanges.

    The rear axle housing, all welded up. You can't see it very well in this pic but I left vestiges of the old spring perches on as both a guide for the new u-bolts and as a bit of protection for them. I also added small brackets to tie the brake lines too, the original ones were shot. I gave it...

    I am finally taking a break from skiing. been out in the garage all day and I think the diff is finally done which means the whole rear axle can be assembled now. Expect pics soon. :cheers:

    1.5" x 0.25" wall DOM, makes a perfect 1" id that fits the inserts for the heims.

    I didn't want double cardans. My driveshafts will just like stock, only longer travel.

    R&P tooth pattern

    Bump. Redid this more times than I want to think about. This is my best tooth pattern so far. :rolleyes: Run it? :confused:

    R&P tooth pattern

    No apologies needed, your knowledge of cruisers is an incredible asset to the members of this board and far, far greater than my mine. Thats why I post my questions here :cheers: :beer:

    R&P tooth pattern

    Not great.

    R&P tooth pattern

    Thats how I read it too, number (4) Flank Contact in figure 5-75 in the FSM would seem to indicate a thinner pinion depth shim. Damned if I'll argue with Poser though ;)

    R&P tooth pattern

    Backlash and preload are correct, though backlash is on the low side at .006 in. Shim width I don't know, I used several to get it where it is now. So I can actually increase backlash a little bit which will put the tooth pattern farther out, and use another or thicker depth shim to get it a...

    R&P tooth pattern

    Thicker? Here is where I started (crappy pic), and I used more (thicker shims to get it down and centered.

    R&P tooth pattern

    Used r&p in really good condition, new bearings, all new shims as the old r&p were set up wrong. This is the rear. I have several shims in there, they are all really thin and came with the rebuild kit. The ring doesn't look terrible but you can see the pattern on the pinion and it looks...
