Making some progress with the IRS, the pumpkin is back in the 'saddle' and some of the other pieces installed. One of my sources recommended installing the mounting bolts in a 'sequential pattern' like one would do with tightening the lug nuts on a wheel, then pull one out and put the locktight on it and retighten. Repeating the procedure on each one, then lock wire the bolts.

| This is the IRS housing with the differential mounted to it, next I had to flip it over and start putting it back together. |

| Checking the endfloat on the hub after the axle was installed and the nut torqued to 140 ft/lbs. When your putting the axle back in make sure that the split pin hole lines up with the hole in the hub otherwise you'll never be able to get the split pin back in and you'll have to break it back down and start over. |

| Coming together, need to find something that I can use for a dummy shaft to hold all the pieces in place for the outer fulcrum shaft, need a piece of dowel .42" diameter so off to Home Depot tomorrow morning. |
Cheers.
