This standard feature makes routine maintenance so much easier - no more removing the brakes, axles, and the third member and scooping out dirty gear oil for a simple oil change

NOTES:
Lubrication Requirements - 9-inch rear-ends use a high-offset hypoid gear design requiring severe duty gear oil with API GL-6 rating. Oil not meeting the GL-6 rating will damage the gears and bearings and void the Currie Warranty. See Currie Racing Gear Oil P/N CE-9013 or CE-9015
Brake Lines - Rear-ends equipped with a brake package will include flex lines installed (rubber for Explore brakes, braided stainless for Wilwood and Bear brakes). Hard Brake lines are not included
Aftermarket Brakes - Currie crate rear ends conform to the ABCS (Aftermarket Brake Configuration Standard). This allows brake kits that use this standard to be easily changed or upgraded without modifying the housing or axles. ABCS brakes use a 2.5-inch brake space with late-model big-bearing Ford housing ends and a 2.80 center hole in the drum or rotor
Wheel Studs - Currie rear ends use standardized-shank Currie Enterprises wheel studs that allow the following wheel studs to be interchangeable in the axles without drilling: 12mm, 7/16, 1/2, and 1/2 x 3-inch competition
High-performance, non-synthetic racing 85W-140 gear oil meets the API GL-6 specification designed specifically for the requirements of 9-inch gear assemblies. It provides maximum shear stability and extreme pressure protection required to extend the life of your Currie rearend.
