Do you have one of these yet?

Nah, I do have to get a pinion flange holder. I'm probably going with the Kent-Moore one though. It might be a few months. It's also a pretty penny.

That’s really odd that the pilot bar wouldn’t be long enough, there’s probably just as many GM diffs as there are jeep diffs lol

Tell me about it. I tried flipping the bar and it doesn't really work the other way. :shrugs:

Maybe it's more designed for the GM rear end differentials.

You really should stick a Truetrac in there. I want one in the plow rig to be. A torsen or an air locker are the only things that can function in there. It needs to unload in 2wd to not kill itself.

Well if it means anything, that massive brand is a us company. I called them trying to see if it would fit a Dana 27 and the lady walked out in the shop and handed the phone to a grumpy mechanic for me to talk too

It came in a nice foam padded, purple, case and a 1” by maybe 3’ pipe. And a toolbox sticker.

I blame this on @Caman96. He showed me that there's a new case out there in case I **** this up. @Caman96, this is for you.

Adjuster stop is out, and case is good to go.

Now this guy can finally sleep at night.

Heck yea!

 

[xXxPARAGONxXx]

Heck yea!

That's what I'm talkin' about. I did it with a plan, not haphazardly. Like you said, support the other side of the case. I also applied a good amount of heat with the heat gun. And I took my time setting up the press to ensure everything was as straight as possible as it was pressed out. A good plan and a good outcome.

 

[Orpedcrow]

That’s awesome! Man I’m glad that worked out!

Throw the replacement ring in the freezer the night before reinstalling (or liquid nitrogen if youre more of a scientific mechanic)

A good press is on my list of shop needs, you can get away with more from an evenly applied pressure than you can with the impact of a large blunt object

How heavy duty...how good is it? How many times have you put it through the trials?
