Default Joe Z axle back install question


Ok, mine came with 4 bolts and I don't see any gaskets here. Do I simply replace these with what the kit came with, just plug and play? Thanks

This!
Edit: For catback, however, there's a set of donut gaskets come with the kit, since you said axleback, then yup, reuse the cone shaped gasket and supplied nuts and bolts.

Jack it up from the center of the differential. Then place your jack stands on each side.

Yup yup for the donuts you reuse the OEM one. They are a crush type application so they are really great quality from the factory, the other gaskets you are referring to are for the 2 bolt and 3 bolt flange types and those are not necessary in Donut Gasket Applications. Everything looks on point, and like 39RN said center of the differential is a great place to jack it up keeping the jack points on the side from being bent in. hope that helps!

I installed my joez catback by backing up on to some ramps to lift the back end. Much easier than jacks, imo.

Since they are crush gaskets, shouldn't you replace them with new ones instead of reusing?
