Taking a shot at my 9"

Well, I decided to give rebuilding my rear end a chance. I just purchased a how to DVD from one of the forum sponsors, Badshoe Productions. I'll give everyone a review when it gets here. I just finished installing my heater in the shop so it should make for much more pleasant wrenching.

the ford 9'' is the best to learn on. very simply to do. all you need is a dial indicater, rebuild kit, gear set and a press.

I hope it goes well, rear ends and auto trannys have always been mysterious territory for me so I usually let someone else do the work. Figured this time I might as well see what all the fuss is about

Hmm...never been in a rear end or an engine (below the intake).

Auto transmissions, however, are childs play. I'm soooo confused.

When you get the DVD, let me know if its closed captioned. I have never found any sort of technical thing that is, but I ask anyway.

I watched Father build 9"er while I was growing up, he could tear 1 down, rebuild it & put it back together in 1/2 a day.

most modern Tv's can show captions even if its not programmed into the show or tape you are watching.

Yes. I know. I am talking about technical DVDs. None of them are that I have ever found. Most are small production runs and CC costs too much. None or Ron Covell's or Len's autobody 101 are captioned.
