Stock Backing Plates onto a Moser 9"
I just bought a used Moser 9" and it has LTx backing plates on it. I first thought about buying some LTx calipers, but after sleeping on it, I've decided to keep my LSx brakes. I have a few questions:
1. Will my stock backing plates fit on my 9"?
2. How would I go about doing the swap? Pull the axles? How do I do that on both a stock rear and a 9"?
3. Anything else I'm missing?

I just did this last week, go to the sticky "how to install a 12 bolt" and it will tell you. I believe there is an 8 mm bolt in the differential you have to remove then push/twist both axles in towards the diff and you will hear the c clips fall out. Then just pull the axles out and unbolt the backing plates. The guy I bought my 9" off says the backing plates need to be pressed onto the 9" but Im not 100% sure if they do when I find out within a couple days Ill let you know

Yes your stock LS backing plates will work. You will have to get the Bearings pressed off and then back on again on your axles to do it. All the stock parts work on the Moser 9" except the sway bar mount, and using 2 3" muffler clamps works real well to hold it into place. You will also need some heavy duty zip ties to hold up the brake lines.
there are 4 bolts holding your axle in (near the outboard of the axle shaft) 9" fords do not have c -clips holding in the axles at the differential.
look at my f-quick page and there is a pic of my rearend taken when it was on a lift.Last edited by Jays00ss; 02-09-2009 at 07:55 AM.

So I don't need any parts?
What I'm getting at is this...can I take the rear out of my car (in my garage), take both rears to my local shop, have them swap the backing plates/press the bearings, go home and install the 9"?
