Dude! You should have called me. I have that big Craftsman (1/2 drive) drill you used for your knuckles. You are welcome to it again if you still need it.

:callme:

So is it done?

Kyung

Yes...it is done. We went to Sears to get a drill.

its all done. Thanks to Johnny for coming over and helping and driving me around town. I ended up buying a drill because I knew I would use it again.

It ws my first time removing and reinstalling the EZ locker myself.

Once I had the decent drill, it went much faster increasing the axle tube holes on the backing plates. Over all it was pretty

The discs do seem to make a difference though my fronts lock up before the rears do. I havent really tried very hard to lock them all up since it was getting late and didnt want to be obnoxious with screaming tires.

You want your fronts to lock up before the rears. Just a little..

I didnt really keep track of how much time we spent driving around and me eating dinner. We spent some extra time and had to reseal the diff cover because the bolts were being a little difficult at first and the sealant dried too quickly. The part that took the longest was reaming the backing plates with a slow drill going dead and putting the locker back in. Once we had the new drill, it went much quicker on reaming the other side.

I would say it took about 6 hours for all of it. steps included:
1. Removing wheels
2. remove diff cover
3. remove cross pin, passenger c-clip, then removing locker and driver c-clip
4. pull shafts
6. remove old brakes and ebrake cables
7. ream the backing plates and mount them
8. install ebrake hardware
9. reinstall shafts, locker, c-clips, and cross pin
10. install rotors, pads, and hook up brake lines
11. hook up new ebrake cables
12. bleed brakes
13. reinstall diff cover
14. adjust ebrakes
15. enjoy

Yeah. Thanks for standing up for me Stephan. Give it a couple months and it will match my rock rails perfectly.
