Swapping to an 8.75 suregrip

FJ5 said

Okay, again my lack of knowledge has struck. I bought axles with green bearings. I did not remove the thrust pinion spacer. I installed the axles without any problem. 8 3/4 with 489 center section with 3:55 sure grip. Did I do something that I'm gonna have to fix?

I just put my rear end together. Have a cut down housing and I purchased axles/green bearings. Bolted axles in the housing and they were touching the thrust block. I just cut 2mm from each axle bolted back in and all good. I new mine were just touching as it was binding when I spun the centre. Whoever shortened my rear had cut it down slightly shorter than standard measurements. Sounds good to me what you have done. Does it spin ok without binding.
