[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16522469, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, As mentioned earlier I wanted to use Veteran's Day to catch up a little bit on the rear-end. I was able to get my center section painted and installed in the housing. I was even able to get the rear-end mounted under the car. Damn, was this a little bit of an under taking. That center section is HEAVY LOL. When it was delivered they placed a warning label on it to say it weighed more than 70 pounds :eek:….. My brother said he was coming over to help, but I got a little over zealous and managed to get everything done on my own because he was busy himself. I'm going to try and finish it up this weekend (i.e. install brake lines back on, then install inner axle seals, the axles themselves, the emergency brakes housing/calipers and rotors and then put the rear wheels on). I then want to remove the rear jack stands and place the car on some ramps I have. Should be pretty cool having the rear wheels back on. They shipped the center section in this bucket. So, I cut out the bottom and used it as a stand to get the center section painted. [ATTACH=full]1672017[/ATTACH] Got the yoke covered up and applied some primer. [ATTACH=full]1672018[/ATTACH] Then I applied some Duplicolor high heat paint. I was going to go with the factory oxide color, but thought silver aluminum would look more custom. [ATTACH=full]1672019[/ATTACH] I then brought out the engine hoist so I could lower the center section on to the housing evenly as it was recommended by the manufacture to just use RTV and no gasket. So, I wanted to ensure that thing sat straight down. And I knew I was not doing that by hand weighing over 70 pounds LOL. [ATTACH=full]1672020[/ATTACH] And here she is mounted to the housing. Had a difficult time getting it to lay even since the yoke is off center. But I ended up getting it by installing a couple bolts to force the top side to lay down. [ATTACH=full]1672022[/ATTACH] I used the grey RTV. Directions said to lay the part on top of the housing. Let the RTV ooze out and sit like that for an hour. Then torque to spec. So, I did that and cleaned up the excess RTV. [ATTACH=full]1672023[/ATTACH] Then I installed it in to the car. I had to use 2 jacks and a couple 4x4 blocks of wood. I also laid down some micro fiber towels so things would not get scratched up. Came out pretty good. As mentioned above I'll get her buttoned up this weekend.[ATTACH=full]1672024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1672025[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
