I missed a little when cutting off the perches and had to fill and grind the housing back to new. Painted it and on to the next step.
Chu's Axle Swap (cont.)
I missed a little when cutting off the perches and had to fill and grind the
housing back to new. Painted it and on to the next step.
I had to cut off
the old Scout spring perches and move them. I got new ones from Mopar and
welded them into place after setting the axle under the Jeep and letting weight
on them I was going to install a custom CV shaft so we set the pinion angle
towards the output shaft to the transfer case. Tack welded them and finished out
of the truck.
A new transfercase yolk was needed to attach the
Wagoneer CV driveshaft to the case and axle.
The spring plate
holes for the Dana 44 are further apart then the AMC 20 axle so custom
fabrication was needed.
We drilled out the holes and welded washers to the insides and ground them flat. I will replace these with 44 plates when I get the chance.
