It didn't arrive yet. I was three trips from the parts store away from making it over there today. It took me three trips to get the right part...and now I have to send the wife there because I still have the wrong part . The wife is shopping , the truck is down for a few hours and the kids keep bringing me there dolls to play with.
yeah, yeah, and my Jeep won't start because the starter is frozen - we could have done it. What are you going to drive on Monday???Originally Posted by ROBERT11

Up and running. That :car4: is going like a and I am .
OK, here it is a week later and Rob has his rear-end done and new poly spring bushings to boot (as well as rear shocks and a quick weld-o on his exhaust.
I must comment he took all y'alls advice:
1. Drinking was deffinately at a minimum (Tigger, one beer throughout the whole ordeal )
2. It was friggin complicated (MC) (but the carrier was only 5 or 6 times in and out - it was the pinion bearing that was a REAL PAIN!!!)
3. Higer math didn't help (Fuzz, "first thing look at the factory pinion for a + or- then look at the new gears ") It was a 3.08 to 4.56 with a whole new carrier - we swagged it. Since there was no setup bearing we used the old one for a ballpark figure. To get it off the new pinion took the full weight of the 20 ton press, a cut-off wheel, a torch, a spring steel prybar and a 3' breaker bar, and the Hulk on the other end
4. Video? What video??? Rob watched it and said it showed some good pics of various different axles, and a perfect assembly without the steps on how to get there.
5. Here's some pics of Wink'n and Blink'n (or is it Laural and Hardy?) I just put the links in because I was too lazy to resize them Most are over 400K...and exceed the 2.25 wide format for the forum..

This is what happens when you stand too close to the press and the prybar sipps off!!! Dave is looking for an earing to fit!!!

A bearing separator wqould have saved you a lot of grief w/ that pinion bearing.
Also, the trick to making set-up bearings is to relieve a little material from the portion which makes contact (inside of inner race, outside of outer race). I use an abrasive drum of a size slightly smaller than the ID of the inner race. Outer races can be gently abraded w/ a grinder or belt or disc sander.
Relieve just enough material so that the bearing can be removed/replaced by hand.
Having a good set of setup bearings makes the multiple assemblies/dis-assemblies of a diff set-up much more pleasant.
I wish I had know you guys were gonna do that regear. My friend in Nashville has the Randy's bearing remover that I could have gotten him to mail me to borrow (if I ask nice enough!). Watched him use it and it saves SOOO much time and effort. You can see it in this pic:

It is the blue kit on the right hand side. Anywho, off to bed.
