Brake lines were both cut since they were completely rusted into the soft lines. Looks like I'll learn how to flare brake lines now!

The metal in the bushings all welded to the bolts through them, so I had to cut each bolt at least twice to get it removed from the axle carrier - annoying!

After getting the first axle out, had to cut the brake line there since it was so rusted into the soft line union.

Made my own OMP block off plate with some flat steel and shears - came out pretty well! Sealed it up with some Black RTV and she'll be good!

Axle seal and wheel bearings are the right size, always a good day when you don't have to order more parts

GSL-SE full suspension setup removed from the parts car. I used to dream of owning a full set of these, I'm so glad that I finally do!

Stock suspension bolt collection for the FB with new lock nuts and flat washers in place of the standard hex nuts and lock washers. This should help eliminate binding in the suspension components since there won't be as much pressure pinching the mounts together on the bushings.

Corrosion on the center iron, it's porous like a sponge from where coolant must have sat and ate through the nitride coating and rusted the metal away. Time for a new center iron I guess!
