The 9" Ford has a drop out center section/chunk/pumpkin which uses a gasket, however I would guess that a proper sealer could be used? To reseal that chunk/pumpkin the axles will have to be pulled out of the axle tubes far enough to allow the center section to be removed. I personally would buy a quality gasket (Felpro, etc.) and install it on the 9" housing studs, put the center section back into the housing and torque the center section to the correct spec. and then put the axles back in. <<If I remember correctly, the axles are held in the housing with four fasteners out on the end of each axle tube. It will be up to you if you want to also use some sealer with the center section gasket. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
