i am taking the pinion tomorrow to have the threads cleaned up and buy a new nut just want to be safe, ya know.

Did you grab the whole center section or just the ring & pinion? You did inspect the carnage before deciding what all you needed to grab at the yard, right?

yes, we grabbed the whole center section. as far as the carnage goes, i broke the shaft that holds the spider gears in three pieces. i was pretty impressed.

Make sure to goto Ford and buy anew bolt that holds that shaft in. They are not good to reuse. You did grab the pinion out also right? The pinion is very necessary to have. It bolts in through the front of the housing and holds the yolk on the outside.
