Differential Oil Change On Ford 9 inch / 8 inch rear end

Shown here on my 1923 Ford Model T(T-bucket). I walk you thru changing out your differential fluid and replacing the 3rd member and axle gaskets. Over time these will leak and it's important to maintain. The Ford 9 inch rear end is extremely popular for hot rodding, broncos and muscle cars. The 8 inch is common in mustangs and smaller builds but has a similar process.

Great video...getting ready to replace fluid and diff gasket in our 1973 Mercury Montego GT.
Do you know if there is an axle flange gasket or is silicone good enough ??
Also, should each, side bearing be replaced ??

@paulsopak984 Hey, so there are some gaskets out there but I ordered a couple different and neither fit right and they were fairly cheap and made of very thin paper. I didn't look too much harder after that so there might be better ones availible but silicone has worked fine for mine. The proper way to fully service this would include replacing the bearings but I inspected mine and it did look like they were in good shape and non origional so I did not. I'd say if they look worn is best to cover that while you're there. Thanks for watching

How much of the car is original? Like the ship of Theseus. Replace enough pieces, is it still the same car? Lol. But shes a nice hotrod, looks similar to, but far cooler, than one tonight at a local cruise in. That one had a steel bumper on the back, not sure where it was mounted.

I'd say the radiator shroud and the brake pedal are it haha. Custom frame, fiber glass body, custom interior, 283 engine from early Corvette, rear end naturally non origional, steering box is 30s, list goes on. Yeah not a lot in the way of safety on mine I had to put in seat belts so I could at least stick with it If something went bad. It sure is fun though, thanks for watching
