Dropping Rear Differential

[Bahndvr]

I plan on dropping the rear diff to install the Fluix rear diff cover and replace the pinion seal while I have the diff down.
I have the CB005, SP085, Steeda vertical links, rear adj shocks and shock mounts. Is there any nuts, bolts, bushings, etc. that I should change out or get?

You shouldn't need to replace the pinion seal if you're just replacing the rear cover. Is there a reason you need to?

I would get this:
https://www.lethalperformance.com/lethal-performance-s550-extreme-diff-bolt-upgrade-kit.html

And use the sleeves from that kit in the rear diff bushings. They take up the ~3 mm oversize between the bushing and the bolt, improving bolt durability and bushing life. You could also install the whole kit and through-bolt the front ears for durability.

Pinion is leaking

@Brian@BMVK Are there seals for the half shafts where they go in the pumpkin?

Yes

 

[Bahndvr]

Yes

Figured that. You wouldn't happen to have the stock numbers?

The bearings and seals are under $40.

I asked if they would ship those bushes separately but got a negative response

I have also asked about the size so I could get some made locally (U.K.) and got conflicting information

If anyone could help it would be really appreciated

This may be worth you keeping on record if you are messing around with your diff :

If it helps, here is the parts list for the diff rebuild kit (supplied to me by ford performance) :

Whenever I drop the differential I'll take some measurements.

Thanks for the sheet
