Side plates are cut to size. Just need final trim and drill holes.

Finally got a spare set of D35 beams to play with.

Going to tear the axle beams down this week so that I can get them over to a buddies place to get them blasted.

your welcome, so when do i get my replacement beams?

I'll be getting the explorer this comming weekend. (Possibly Sunday) and it will be taking a short stay at my place and it will be stripped of the axles.

I'll be tearing into your D35 today so if you want the brake parts come and get them. I won't need them.

the rotors and pads, just chuck them, i have new ones sitting at home

Come get the calipers, spindle cones, axle shafts. Hub nuts and what not.

alright, it will prolly be late when i show up though

Won't be till 9:00 when I get out there.

cool beans so you gonna pull a late one out in the shop then? if so then i will bundle up and help out if you need an extra set of hands, or just a camera biotch

Just a couple of hours. I want to get the D35 torn down and that is about it. Maybe make a template for the start of the truss.

4 H and 6 broken sockets. Whom ever thought it would be a good idea to put a 12 point socket on the adjuster cam should be strung apart by 4 RBV's. Left to bleed out and have his corpse kicked repeatedly untill he was a pile of goo.

you should have called, i know mine are under warrenty and there new, so no slippage from them yet.

oh did you notice how the u joints and all that other crap was doin? how dirty was the diff fluid? did the gears look all shotty?

The U joints are good, I haven't looked at the diff yet. I just flipped it over to fully drain it. The rotors are minty. They look better than the ones I have now. They must have been changed recently. One side the wheel nuts were on backwards.

A real smart feller did that, he didn't wnt to wear out the tapered side so he used the flat side for a while

I ment the spindle nuts. I would have said lug nuts if it would have been those.

The small nut was at the bearing and the washer then the large nut was on the outside with the washer index pin pointed out.
