[QUOTE]Originally posted by 50 Deep: [QB] Since the rear axles had to be removed to dump the OEM brakes I went ahead and bought the Ford Performance carbon fiber clutch packs to rebuild the posi unit. This was my first time rebuilding a posi unit on my own, and thankfully it was a rather smooth process. Basic hand tools, a mallet, and some YouTube videos gave some tips on how to complete the process and get the S-spring back in. Compressing the spring with vice grips and then using a small wrench to prevent them from expanding was cool. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/D4QGGjJ/F3-AC40-E1-3596-4-DE5-AF39-C7959-E45571-B.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/wwWvfV0/8-AAA714-C-BC10-4-F43-8954-D0-DB4-FEE07-CF.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> Went ahead and upgraded the wheel studs to ensure they would be strong enough for track use. ARP units were selected for the task and the finish. I found that trying to press in the studs using an impact gun damages the finish. Ended up buying a press from harbor freight and doing it that way. If I end up buying components new again I will spend the extra money to have the manufacturer press them in. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/zSwH7cj/88657-DE8-9332-4-FCD-9-D96-EBDA70-D45010.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> [/QB][/QUOTE]
