Two more things I failed to mention:

1. You mispronounced battery in your first post. It's pronounced "Bat-ry" - No "E" in there. Think like Larry from Meadowbrooke.

2. I pulled the axle from the Olds on Saturday and took it and the new bearing in to Moritz machine shop today. They said it will be ready tomorrow. I probably could have asked to get it back later today but what the hell, this is motorcycle weather anyway.

Working on those Wilwood brakes is smoooooth. Removing them to get to the axle bearing is a snap. There's only one trick you gotta know, and that's to use a gear puller to remove the "hat." The disk is a two-piece deal and Wilwood calls the part that connects the disk to the hub a "hat." Looks just like a pie plate.

What would you recommend for differential lube? You remember that it has a limited slip unit in there, and I seem to recall that there's a different lube with additives for that. I wrote an E-Mail to Moser Engineering, where I got the Ford nine inch housing and the pumpkin and stuff. But I think they sell their own label of lube, and I'd rather get something from around here. Whatcha think?
