Ford 9 Axle Rebuild

Rebuilding a Ford 9 inch rear axle.

excellent excellent tutorial I have a Ford E200 and I just went through that whole process good thing I found a shop that pressed them on for me for $100 plus took care of the drive shaft joints great video I'm very impressed .. now that I've seen this video I wonder about that first seal if I did it backwards or not I'm hoping I didn't

Great info! Ty

[@michaelalberson126]

You’re presentations and videos are absolutely awesome as you include the fine and important details that without them the work of a D I Y mechanic would be possibly jeopardized. Thank you for your valuable time and your hard work in producing the Scattered Rusty Projects videos 🎥 🎞️!! ! ! ! ! !

Back in the day, I went through a lot of pitfalls learning the hard way. Glad to share some of the procedures we do to help someone out.

Music is distracting. The quality of the video and what is being explained is enough.

[@ChipSmith-kw3gu]

You've answered questions that I didn't know I would of had. Great information. Thanks

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@caneighbors7875]

Nice video; thanks for posting!

Where did you get your housing cleaning brush

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

At my local plumbing supply. A 3" flue brush.

You need to pull the pinion support out and set the preload on the carrier bearings. Once that is done you mark the adjusters on the top where they are mirror to each other and put the pinion back in. When you adjust the backlash, if move the adjusters the same amount to keep the preload on the bearings. The way you it, you are going to have very noisy gears

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

I see your point, but it isn't that sensitive and not really necessary. Perhaps in a high load application like circle track or baja you'd want to take every precaution. We do a lot of axle work. They don't leave noisy or come back developing noise a few months or years down the road. Bearing preload is bearing preload. Regardless of how it is obtained, why would you feel my method would promote very noisy gears?

[@paulhead]

Why oil on the bearing cap bolts and not locktite?

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

Similar to not using loctite on bolts for the main caps in an engine. The bolts have some stretch in which the elasticity will keep them secure. if the bolts stop short because of dry threads, they could come loose. I suppose enough loctite would act as a lubricant during assembly, but it isn't necessary.

[@tjed1071]

Don’t you check pinion preload without a seal installed?

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

Haven't measure a difference with and without a seal, but I can't feel a difference by hand. If the seal is lubricated it doesn't account for much. Perhaps if the seal is dry, it might drag the pinion.

[@trill40]

It this the same rear end that's on a 1969 mach 1?

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

Yes, if you have 351, 390 or 428 or Boss 302/429. Otherwise you'd have an 8" for the strait 6 and 302 cars.

[@pauldamato1316]

Is this my tru-track finally????

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

no, it's on the list.

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

Your 2nd Tru-Trac will probably end up in the yellow Eliminator. Sometime you have to visit with the 3rd member you want a Tru-Trac in.

[@Thorgon-Cross]

Your background music should be moved to...THE BACKGROUND, music is way to loud can barely hear you.

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

I do adjust volumes down of music and sometimes increase the video volume. Thought I moved it enough, but maybe not. Been doing trans for 25 years, videos for a few months. Let me know on the next one if there is improvement. Thanks for watching!

[@paulzivcic2394]

Man, turn the music down....or something a bit more subtle....very distressing

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

When you visit my shop you may not always hear music you like. You will always hear music I like. I'm not a Hollywood studio. You will notice in my later videos the music has better editing.

[@robertfrink1130]

It would be a better video without the ANNOYING music. Let the guy be heard over the noisy music!

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

I have a proficiency for transmissions and axles. Video editing is a new thing. While i tapered down the music volume a bit when i started talking, Looking back i would would probably quiet it a bit more. I listen to music while working, so it seems appropriate to have a little music in the background. BTW, you arent the first to mention the music being too loud. Thanks for watching!

[@philsrowse7266]

Shame about the awful background music

[@scatteredrustyprojects]

My videos are more geared towards if you were hanging out in my shop than a classroom setting. Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!
