Axles, helper springs, oil cooler hooked up

Today I put in new axles on both sides. This should fix the grease explosion I had in RR. Still a lot of grease on the suspension that I had to clean off. While I was in there, new diff seals as well. It’s a surprisingly easy job aside from just taking the suspension apart.

Also added helper springs to the rear coilovers. They were rattling around a little at full droop. The front seems fine.

I also got the engine oil cooler hooked up. The magic was threading the front bolt of the block so it’s located, but can rotate about the single bolt. Then you thread on the AN fittings. Finally you can rotate the block up to start the 2nd bolt. You’re fighting a lot less weight this way. Wish I had a crow’s foot wrench in the right size for tightening the AN fittings. I had to cut the end off a crescent wrench in order to get it done.
 

Getting close to ready. Just need to fix my exhaust manifold bolts and swap over to SRF.
