Regular Guy with Regular tools gear swap! Lots of PICS :)

[B613]

I will be doing an ifs 7.5" unless I stumble upon a solid front in before I buy gears. Are they more difficult than the 8"?

I almost forgot to total everything up for the rear..... this includes shipping on parts but not little things like steel I already had to makes jigs and rtv I had in my garage. I will try to do the same for the front axle.

R&P $113.00
Master install kit $94.00
Gear oil $21.00
Harbor freight "large bearing separator" $29.99
3/8-1/2 adaptor for in-lb torque wrench to 30mm socket. $2.69
Borrowed puller from my friend.....priceless.

Grand total for the rear $ 260.68

The hardest part for the front will be removal of the diff IMO.

I have a good spare front diff under my work bench so I will work on that one then just swap them once its done....I know it will still be a pain to remove but at least my truck wont be down so long.
