Did any of you have to use some special tools to get to the gears?

 

Nope, just some basic ratchets, wrenches and alot of patience.

 

Getting to the gears is easy - sure, but installing a new set PROPERLY requires some special tools.

Hydraulic press, bearing separator, inch pound torque wrench (or very good torque wrench that can go down to 1-2 foot pound.), 6' long piece of rebar (or the proper wheel bearing tool), pinion depth tool (or trial & error with contact patching), dial caliper, dial gauge, etc.........

That's all I can remember, but those are the tools I used.

damn here we go again ron. this ought to be a sticky, or something that pops up in a search. "special tool" to hold pinion yoke, indicator and mag base, mics, and all the common hand tools.

 

:sillylol:

 

Oh yes, to get to the gears is cake, but I failed to mention the tools you need to install new gears. My mistake.

Ron and Ede cleared that up. Thanks guys.

Not to be a jerk, but whats up with the sig.? Just put "Future mods in the works" or something. I dunno, I guess I am a Jerk. I have seen longer ones than that, but ohh well.
