    Does anyone happen to know approximately how much a Ford 9 inch rear end weighs? I'm asking about the third member only. That is the housing, ring and pinion, side and spider gears, bearings. Thank you.

    Thank you, Gary. That's just a few pounds less than my Muncie 4 spread.

    Weighted mine 74 #, bit of a grunt to lift it up in the air too.

    Thanks Dave 39. I appreciate it. I've fabricated a metal yoke that fits in the saddle of my floor jack and also uses two bolts on the front of the 9 inch housing. I hope it will work for removal and installation. At 68, I'm too old and weak to lift such stuff any more.
