[ATTACH=full]23960[/ATTACH]Pulled the old mystery uppers and lowers. Out with the old. And soon to be in with the new.  The MM lcas are out of my 01 gt, so they use 14mm bolts. So I drilled out the body mount and axle holes to .585", so next time I go to work on it they are going in with the Fresh stock uppers.[ATTACH=full]23961[/ATTACH]Disassembled the rear, looks like the Previous owner put some kind of Eaton or detroit posi in it [ATTACH=full]23962[/ATTACH]As well as 31 spline axles with what appears to be thread in 3" studs..  wish they were regular press-ins, that way I could replace them with regular ones.  Any suggestions on that?I will be re shimming the pinion and carrier to obtain a better mesh pattern then the one that was in there.  Looks like i need to pull some shims out of the pinion.[ATTACH=full]23965[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]23966[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
