Re: 71' Blazer Rust bucket build

Looks like I may have cost myself some money and more time not knowing what I was getting into on the 12 bolt rear. Having never worked on one I should have read up or asked questions before jumping in on it. Had no idea changing front pinion seal would create issues (physical change was easy) just did not know about it changing the backlash and stuff that i know nothing about. What made me even question it was when I tightened up the nut after putting the yoke back on and nothing would turn. Looks like I may have ruined the crush sleeve which means it all has to come apart to fix it right. I am my own worst enemy sometimes Better to get it back right now vs tearing it up once out on the road. I will find someone local to come over and take care of it.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.
