12 Bolt install (pics)

Well I decided I dont feel like braking the 10 bolt next year at the track so I splurged on a 12 bolt .

Moser 12 bolt
93+ size
Aluminum gurdle
Eaton Posi 3.73
33 Spline Axles

I didnt get too far as I got snowed out while pulling my stock 10 bolt, and broke a brake line .

Just awaiting the bearings to be pressed then I will assemble it and put it in.

So more pics tomorrow when im assembling it

Jay

I good amount..I carried the 10 bolt outside and it was heavy but maintainable to walk with...the 12 bolt holy hell it took some muscle for me to lift it onto the tires alone :O

Re: 12 Bolt install (pics) updated

UPDATED ....YA it was -6*C outside when i did it. Also no one around so had to get it from my garage to my car alone and use 2 jacks to try to balance it...but it went real smoooooth Can wait to test it out after i fix my brake lines.
I also need biger clamp for the sway bar since the old ones were too small.
