 [13] The first pattern test...  [13] The first pattern test showed that the pinion depth needed to be adjusted. The pinion was removed and shims added, as shown, behind the bearing.  [14] The second test revealed...  [14] The second test revealed a perfect mesh pattern.  [15] The pinion grip pattern...  [15] The pinion grip pattern should also be checked.  [16] The HRW kit includes...  [16] The HRW kit includes the driveshaft seals, plus the custom bearing holders that use the same bolt pattern as the backing plates and stock axle tubes. The smaller, rectangular pattern of four holes in the aluminum holders are for the axle retainer plates.  [17] This is the outer end...  [17] This is the outer end of the axle tube on an original Ford banjo rearend. The piece sticking out is the bearing seat for the rear hub.  [18] HRW machines the rearend...  [18] HRW machines the rearend housings, to make it possible to use bigger bearings and a seal, which is not a simple operation for an amateur.  [19] With the machined axle...  [19] With the machined axle tubes back from HRW, we could start bolting the rearend together to check things out. Different years of these Ford rearends have different length housings, so measure the rear end before ordering the axle kit.  [20] If you’re going to use...  [20] If you’re going to use later Ford 11-inch brakes, HRW can machine the tubes and weld on new bearing housings with the correct bolt pattern for the later backing plates.  [21] There are new aftermarket...  [21] There are new aftermarket Ford rearend housings available (such as Winters) but if you see the welding seam on top of the housings it is an original Ford part. Most of the new quick-change centersections are made to fit the original Ford rearend housings (the Winters banjo will also accommodate).
