Thanks to all of you for your help!
I just test fix my stock brake system on my Versailles 9" rear. I went w/ the stock brakes and so far only have about $180 in my brakes, but still need hoses, oh well.
My questions are:
From what I have read from some of the links members have provided me is this axle has one main bearing pressed on the axle w/ an inner and outer seals?
To pull the axles, I just need an attachment at the lugs and a slide hammer (my part store rents both) and no c clips to pull?
I plan to run the stock 3rd member and when I can upgrade to lower gears w/ a tack loc later. I've heard that some of the 70s & 80s bronco 9"s were set up w/ lower gears and track locs? Also are they also 28 spline? Is there a factory 3rd member I can pull from a salvage yard w/ the 28 spline, lower gears, and track loc setup?
I plan to have the axle bearings pressed on by a local machine shop. I would prefer to install the seals and axles w/ the newly pressed bearings myself. What is the procedure for reinstalling the axle w/ new bearing? Can I just rent another tool to press the axle back in the housing?
More questions to come, thanks!
