Rear end hum again.

[kennythewelder]

Does your shop have a hoist? When I did mine without a hoist, we (my son and I) dropped the whole rear end and put it up on my work bench. Made it a lot easier for this 65 (at the time) year old fart who doesn't do bend overs well! Just saying

Enjoy your project and don't leave too much rubber in the parking lot

Yes we have a hoist. Plans are, I will pull it in the C&C shop, then bring the diff over to the welding shop maybe inside of my welding booth, not sure yet. I can leave my truck there for several days. We have a fork lift and a bunch of straps. I rebuilt 4 pipe jacks Friday, so we have 6 all together. We also have 2 jack stands, and I will bring 2 more from home, along with my 3 ton floor jack. We have several carts I can put it on. We also have a cart with V blocks, and have several V blocks I could put on a cart, or table. (LOL, like you, Im to old), and Im to fat to do this on the floor.

Getting the pinion out was very tough. I started with an aluminum driff, and a 2 Lb shop hammer. It didnt budge. So since I am replacing the ring and pinion anyway, I said to hell with it. I grabbed the biggest sledge hammer we have a 16 LB beast. I had my coworker, hold the 2 LB hammer on the end of the pinion, and I hit it with the 16 LB sledge. I had to hit it several times before it even broke loose. Finally it started to move. I drove it as far as I could untill the yoke was flush with the pinion threads. At that point, I grabbed another driff, and that finished it up with the 2 LB shop hammer.

Its all together. Everything is within spec, and the contact pattern looks good. I will install it tomorrow.

No, I dont, but I can tell you this, they must be lock nuts because they were very hards to get off.

When the impact stops spinning.

Looks like its 115 ft lbs. Sounds about rite judging on how tight they were coming off.

Hell the impact wouldnt even take them off, after I broke them loose. It just sat there and hammered but wouldnt turn at all. Guess we need a new impact at the shop.
