Not sure if you're serious or not.
The primary reason NOT to simply turn your axle upside down to do a spring-over is the gears. You probably WOULD "fry the third" but this would be minor compared to learning to drive everywhere in reverse. Changing the orientation of the ring gear to the pinion in this instance will make your wheels turn opposite of what they currently do.
If you decide to go to the trouble of turning the axles upside down, do yourself a favor and move the engine and transmission to the rear of the vehicle as well.
LOL, please forgive me for my misunderstanding.
Thank you, however, for the chuckle I got imagining you slamming through the gears and catching 4th gear reverse!:bike_rider:
Ran the vent around to the top again. Didn't plan on changing the fluid. Hopefully ill be replacing the axle in a year or two.The vent tube would be a drain tube now.
The fill plug would be at a different height.
I'm on a Very low budget......Why not just put a proper trailer axle under it?
Guess I might have to. Bummer!Call Summit racing, and order two new spring perches to weld onto the axle.
U bolts should be long enough and the saddles should work too. then the diff will stay lubed.
