Ford 9" Rear End Rebuild with Yukon Gear Parts and Posi Traction!

- What a lovely day...to assemble the rear axle housing for the 73 Mustang!
I had ordered the parts from Yukon Gear and Axle a while ago but didn't have the press to complete the installation. I took everything to a local shop to have it assembled and that was taking too long. So I went to Harbor Freight and bought a press and decided to do it myself.
In this video, I press new bearings and wheel studs onto the new 31 spline axles and then cut them to fit the stock housing... Which gets a new set of end seals as well. I had already welded the new suspension brackets on and painted the housing when the Total Control Products Rear Coil Over Conversion system was installed.

The center section is from Yukon Gear and Axle and is based on the Nodular Iron Dropout stuffed with a heavy duty True Trac Posi-traction and a 3.50 Ring Gear. I was going to use a 3.89 ratio but Kyle at Yukon recommended a 3.50 since the car was going to be used for Autocross...he says I'll be thankful for that few hundred RPM drop when I'm doing long second gear pulls dodging cones...so thanks for the help! www.yukongear.com/
So check out the video and don't forget to share and subscribe to help keep me going!
Thanks for watching,
Jason

So glad you made these. I am working on my 73.
Good luck!
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time because I saw you didn't install the axle keeper before the bearing, lol... glad to see the clip at the end.
I'm with you! I love watching metal cutting in slow motion as well.
Kudos to using a file on those ends!!!
Awesome! I just watched all of these videos. I recently bought a '73 Grande for $400. Going to stick with the 351c for now, And pretty much stock everything other than my intake, carb, and exhaust. Since money is certainly tight with this build. I'm going to just play around for now and see how my skills are with recently untouched subjects, such as painting. Can't wait to see the next video in the series! Keep up the great work!
Great build so far excited to see the end result
Awesome build so far Jason! Can't wait to see more progress!!!!
n20cpri ME TOO! Thanks a bunch!

It looks great Jason. That Press seemed to work out well for you. One more step completed, now on to the rear Disc conversion. Then you'll be Unstoppable! lol ttyl -Drew
Wow, that is seriously nice!
Shakerhood69 Thanks for taking a minute. Have you ever considered putting up a quick video on any of your awesome cars? The Cuda in your profile pic is epic!
autoedit I wish that Cuda were mine for sure, I have had a Fox Body as my fun car for the past 17 years.
Keep up the great work sir,best wishes and stay awesome.
jacak47410 Thanks a bunch...just watched your video of you shooting that Marlin and holy cow that's an interesting gun!
autoedit Appologies I had not gotten around to commenting back yet. Thank you kindly for watching my video.
It's a 10 gauge marlin super goose. 36 inch barrel.
If I was so inclined I could snipe with this shotgun.
Looks really good.
Justin Bowtell Thanks so much! It is a good unit.

thanks for your help i also have a yukon 3rd member i'm want try this too putting 35 spline in my 69 nova for the first time your video help man thanks
Awesome to hear!
You welcome bro
i was wondering about the gear ratio until i read the description... i guess us jeep guys think the higher(numerically) the better... i got 4:56's in my daily... is great to see what Works in different aplications.... keep up the great work and videos ..saludos from mexico.
martincillo111 Thanks! Hey which Jeep is yours in your videos? I'm looking to change the gears in my Jeep now as well...I only have 32" tires on it now but maybe stepping up to 33's and correcting the ratio...
i had the gold cherokee it had 4:88's and 35's good crawl ratio, but now i actually own a wj ...with 4:56's with 35's ...if i coul'd go back i'd stay with 4:10's and 33's for a daily driver way better in my opinion
martincillo111 That is REALLY helpful...thanks so much!
Very Nice
What kind of blade was that you used to cut the axles? and where did you get it? great job keep it up!
Hey Jason. I own a 2012 Jeep JKU and have followed your Jeep channel and know you know your stuff. I am currently in the market for a muscle car and found a 68 Nova, 454ci, Turbo 400 Auto, 2800 stall, with a Ford 9" rear running 3.00 gearing. At the moment I am a complete novice when it comes to muscle cars. Is this gear ratio good for cruising or good for the strip? I will mostly be using it to cruise around town but want to be sure I can get the power to the ground when I want to. Thank you for all of your videos!
Im doing a ford 9" IFS . Do you still have those cut axles . I would buy them from you . They would be great sub axles.
What size studs did you use?
+ autoedit i need some help my friend putting a 496 bbc (street able) and he thinking going ford 9 inch what gears should we aim for
+dj bottex That depends on a lot of things. What transmission and what size rear tires? Highway cruiser or sporty track day car? This car got a 3.55 rear gear.
I love how simple you make it look. Are you located in California?
It is simple but thanks so much! And yes, just north of Los Angeles in Santa Clarita.
👍👌
No prob
did yours come standard with a 9 inch. i have a convertiable with a 8 inch. i dont know how well it will hold up but wanna get a posi unit. is it easier to get a 9 inch off a junkyard lincoln or truck and convert to posi or is the 350 HP (im aiming for) not enough to break the 8 inch
+TheSamplebridge Sorry for taking so long to find this comment...your 8 inch with a posi will be fine for 350 horsepower!
autoedit ok. the engine for now is delayed because i (ironicly) got a 95 GT that im paying off and a big chunk is going to the taxes and stuff close to 400$ with teh first monthe payment, taxes, and whatnot.
what blade did he use to cut the exle?
It was the standard cold cut blade for that saw.
what lube did you use. Am using a similar diff.
+Juan Lamas Mobil1 gear oil.
Oh sorry., couldn't help myself. Total price for everything?
Buy a Ford 9 "differential with a 3.00 WDD-B identification plate that according to this code corresponds to a 1965 Mercury, I want to install this differential in a Jeep Cherokee.
Here are my questions:
1- Is it a Ford 9 "or is it a Ford 8 3/4", is there this differential?
2- Is it a Ford 9 "with a ring diameter of 8 3/4"?
3- It has a ratio of 3.00 and the shafts have 28 splines. I want to modify it to use a 4.11 ratio with 31 spline shafts. What do I need to change in order to update it?
cant go wrong cutting metal with mineral oil to keep the temps down and maintain the metallurgy...
rebuild? i came to see the rebuild as in ring and pinion, that was just new bolt on upgrades.
What rear end shop did you go to?
Cody Busenbark Howdy Cody! I didn't mean for it to sound bad, it's a friend of mine and he was blessed with tons of business and you know how "buddy deals" get stashed into the corner. Besides...I really just needed a good excuse to tell the wife why I needed to buy a press! LOL
Totally understood the point. I was just wondering which one you went to. Car looks really good so far
IS THE CAMARO GONE????
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID. the right hole.
+ auto edit I don't know trans he going with I think the rims are 26's with a big lip for the rear it's a show car nut want it to move
+dj bottex If that's the case, you can probably just use the gear it comes with if it's not damaged.
+ auto edit thank you so much I thought he have to do something different because it's behind a Chevy motor thanks nice vid to
+dj bottex Oh, nope the only thing to be sure of is the size of the U-joints on the driveshaft and pinion. It'll be pretty clear what needs to be done! Thanks for checking out the video.
+autoedit I just found out the transmission it's th400
HNGGGG all that extra unsprung weight...
+ auto edit 👇🏾
Call me ignorant, but I have never seen lug studs pressed in from the wheel side of the axle flange. I thought they all pressed in from the back side of the flange and had a mushroomed end, to keep them from being pulled through the flange. Won't the ones you pressed in, pull out, when you tighten the lug nuts? I am 68 years old and haven't replaced lug studs in a long time. Am I missing something? Seriously, I would like to know, for future reference.
These are pressed in like normal, I used a large socket as a spacer on the top of the flange since that was the only way to fit it in my press.
@@AutoEdits Normal, for me, is pressed in from the back side, with the mushroomed end, similar to a bolt head, going against the back side of the flange, to prevent the stud from pulling through the flange, thus, possibly, letting your wheel fall off. I saw no mushroom, or bolt head on any of your lug studs, and have never seen a lug stud, like those. You pressed these through the front. I am wondering, and will research, whether there is a newer design, that I am not familiar with. Thanks for the reply.
@@wmden1 These are pressed in from the back, like normal.
@@AutoEdits I watched it again. I am sorry for not being observant enough. I didn't realize you had backed the studs and, basically pressed the flange onto the studs. I had always drove them in, from the back of the flange, with a good sized hammer. Like I said, I am 68 and am subject to brain farts, every once in a while. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. Thanks for being patient and cordial with your replies.
@@wmden1 All good dude! I'm glad you're here and asking questions! Car guys gotta stick together...LOL
I know this is an old video, but just as an FYI, probably not best practice to install the bearings and then cut and grind the shafts. Might end up being a quick way for the novice viewers to have to install bearings twice. Nice video otherwise.
