    After you left we finally got the brakes out of the way... It took way too long.
    Queue us going to O'Riley's for some shit and we end up with us draining the old axle, pulling off the 3rd member, draining the new axle, pulling off this 3rd member and shaving off the old gasket, removing any of the shavings that fell in the housing as well.
    Tomorrow or... Today... we're going to put the OG 3rd member on the new axle, get the sealant and oil where it needs to go, pick up some brake pads we ordered yesterday and start to reassemble the entire fucker. May need to replace hard brake lines since the wrench ends are stripping for all of them.

    Sorry if I got anything wrong. I'm still learning and I'm exhausted. Pictures to follow when I upload them from my phone.

    Figured it out with the help of @anthony250f. I’ll rock the 600lb spring for a bit and see how I like it before switching to a 650.

    "Fun Fact" Using the right tool for brakes doesn't strip all the hard line nuts. :notsure:
