Boy, if this wasn’t the best video of ALL I’ve seen as far as assembling a rear diff I don’t know which is, because I’ve seen many even from guys with their podcasts here.
You broke it down, pinion depth, crush vs non crush spacers, pre load, backlash and pattern. Great job man!!
man wish you lived close.. Great to know these things. I have so many projects going on i never think about to video them.
This man is awesome at teaching and explanation. He hots every thought i had dead on. 👏 🙌
Thanks! I missed some things due to being new at filming when I did this video. I’ve got plans to make a new video on the subject when I get a new axle in the shop to build soon.
Good show bud. Fantastic description and great tidbits of advice, Thank you 👍🏼
Man you saved my life with this video thank you!
Hey AllieCat , just wanted to drop a note to thank you for producing this video , I was building an 8.2 10 bolt in my 1971 Chevelle { my first time ever taking on such a project ) Yukon dura grip Posi & 3.36 Yukon ring and pinion , I over crushed on my first try at setting pre-load {what a kick in the nuts } thankfully I found your video , I first thought it sounded to easy to be true , after watching you and listening to your testimony , I decided to order the shim kit from Quick Performance in Ohio , after only three or four tries I hit dead on 12 1/2 inch pounds { how simple & sweet it was } thanks again chuck ellis
Great video. Easy to understand. And i liked the crush sleeve eliminator. Thanks.
Great video just got a 99' suburban and needed to change my rear diff appreciate this.
Great video! Really well put together and explained.
THX for sharing your immense knowledge, never did one but u give me the courage to give it a shot, Ed
Lighting under there looks great with that led bar!
Really great detailed video of gears and setting it all up. Thanks for this
Listen here boss I cant tell u how much you helped me out !. Thank you 👍
Thanks for the info i didn't know there was this product out there on the market to replace the crush sleeve , now i can replace it on my truck .
I've watched this video and about 30 others and the pinion spacer or crush sleeve is the only thing I am not really sure about. I just purchased posi and ring and pinion and install kit from Quick Performance, installing this weekend, thanks for giving me the courage to do this, you took a lot of time to put this video together! THX, Ed
Best video anywhere I've seen so far thanks for explaining this.
Very informative video great job thanks
Your a great instructor!
You explain it so well. I, now only, after watching many videos, have the best understanding of crush vs solid sleeve. I'm so well informed, I'm going to make my own solid sleeve without the shimms. I'll take the dimensions of my crush sleeve, make it a coupla thousandths bigger and grind it untill it works. Just have to find a proper thickness pipe and take it from there. Bless your soul, brother.
Great video! i have done this about 10 times through the years and it never gets any easyer..this time i am going to try a crush sleeve eleminator..i wish you would have shown the whole prosess of how you got to the numbers for the shimes ..i am going to start from were my last crush sleeve sat..but i changed carrier and gears from 342 to 373..i am soooo nervious..i am glad i had your video to watch first..you gave me some great needed confidence
Excellent! Thanks! I’m doing just what you suggested, learn, read, watch videos. I’m contemplating replacing pinion bearings on my 2005 GMC Safari. Not sure right now if I’m going to tackle this job. Your videos help with my confidence level! Thanks again!
Do u ever replace them.
Excellent instruction video!!
Nice job on the video! Nice job on the installation. Keep it up.
I think I'm going to try to set my next one up. I'm in NO hurry, just crusin through some video's trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks, I learned some stuff, the shims are what's bothering me. I never head of a Crush Sleeve Eliminator....thanks again.
Excellent video !
Pinion depth and eliminator kit. Thanks bro keep on keeping on
Grate Video.. Thank you !!
Great video, very informative. Not many guys know how to set up a rear end properly.
Swap shims to adjust pattern
Very good explanations.... Good job all around........saved me some Money going to the shop...thnx Brother
Excellent video. Thanks brother 👍
Yep. This is the guy you need to be watching. Great video brother
Great video brother
Thanks a lot man I reference your videos all the time
Awesome! I’m so happy I can help!
😎🚜💨
Excellent video
I did my own rear end a couple of years ago, it’s still holding up fine but I don’t really drive the truck much. I’m going to eventually do my z71. These gm trucks really wake up with the 4.10s and tune.
I like to screw a couple long bolts into the bottom of the pumpkin so if I lose control of the carrier while I'm wrestling it in, it'll drop to the bolts instead of the floor. And a some plywood on the floor for added backup. Good vid!
Great video! Thank You
Nice job...Your custom brush takes it all...
Black Kane Hahahaha I looked in my toolbox the other day and saw that brush in there, and started laughing
Great video. I just dished out $1800 for a shop to rebuild my rear end and I supplied the ring, pinion, and loaded carrier. The supplied the axles, bearings, races, and labor. Wish I had the skills to do these myself.
Awesome very very informational
Really appreciate the explanations to us novices
Amazing video
Now that's the kind of guy I want doing my work. And noticed how clean his shop is the last thing you want in a new set of bearings is a piece of dirt
Really good video
Good video man.
Thanks for the information.
Good information,succes
Wow, video very good explanations and voice is perfect for
Instructing, you would make a good instructor at trade school!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like where you teach their man I understood it all
Thanks! I hope you enjoy my new videos coming out! I have plans to build more axles, and I really want to do an updated and better video on this axle. Thanks for watching! 😎🚜💨
Good job !
Would have like to seen how many times it took to get the shims right
Good video bro
I am repairing my 10 bolt chevy..i enjoyed this video easy to understand ..very well explained..only question i had was how much play can be in the spider gears if youre not replacing them...great presentation thank you..👍😊
Hey there, thanks for making me feel that I could rebuild my 10 bolt 8 1/2 Chevy. Question, how do I know that I should change the ring and pinion.
Cheers Bro. TY
Great videos,would like to see how you went about setting up the pinion gear pre-load with the crush sleeve eliminator kit and finding out how many shims required.
I realized after I got done with the build, and started making the videos that the audio I had for the pinion depth, and crush sleeve portion of the build was horrific. my apologies. I will be building more axles in the future, and will touch back on this subject when I get a new axle to build.
Great vid !! How come I have to pound the outer pinion bearing to slide in the shaft on my 10 bolt GM and yours just slides in ??
is there a deference in the preload of the pinion with the seal and without the seal. seems like if I set the right preload on the pinion to 24 without the seal, when i install the seal it has more resistance.
Awesome video. I was replacing the differential seal on my 99 Trans Am and the preload just didn't come back to where it was supposed to be. I was recommended to replace the crush sleeve and use a crush sleeve eliminator kit instead to avoid overcrushing it and making the job a bigger headache. Could you provide some tips for a beginner trying to knock out this job. I am very nervous about it. I got several doubts I hope you can remedy. How does the car need to be to measure the preload? Tires off? Is the preload measured with the ring removed? I need some answers to get a better understanding and I would greatly appreciate tips. Thanks!
Would have liked to seen how you figured out the shims for the carrier.
Do you have a video how to replace clutch plates on a posi GM rear end ?
considering putting a GM Posi in my 78 K10 suburban with GM 10 bolt axles. thanks, this helps.
I have a 78 k10 as well, lemme know how that goes for ya👍
Liked the video great detail!
Good video. I just wanted to see how these carrier shims were. I’m about to regear the old gmc and was hoping it was gunna have the same setup as a 14 bolt but damn the luck. Pattern looked a little too shallow to me.
Also I took the little springs out and I don't know how to put them back on?
When pressing bearings or races into a housing, put the bearings, and or race into the freezer for a few hours. Metal contracts when cold, extreme cold makes metal contract even more. Work on bearing seals too.
Great video bud will be my first time have all took minus 1/2 inch torque wrench. Do have 3/8 one, though just depends on specs. are all tolerances torque specs included with posi or locker etc...
What is the the torque on the torque wrench for them clamps
Do you know if the ring and pinion from rear 10 bolt with work with front?
LOL,, Messing with the pinion preload always makes everyone sweat!! 👍🏼 Nice work bro. I'm going to give this a try. A "Q tip" works good for the gear paint also..
I know im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me.
@Johnny Abdullah Instablaster :)
@Noe Terry thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Noe Terry It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Johnny Abdullah You are welcome =)
Tip if I may....when looking for something to press bearing onto pinion and can't find a pipe the right size and lenght, cut the cage off of old pinion bearing and remove bearings. This leaves the inner part of bearing. Use this to press on the new bearing.
Is there a trick to putting in the differential, for I already tried to many occasions. Also when I took off my pinon nut it did not have more than 80 lbs. It ran for 2500 problem bfree? I have told to torque my nut on my 7.5 gm 10 bolt on an 82 Camaro to 150 lbs?? But I cannot get past 80 or the tires move?
i have a 97 dodge tam 1500 that clunks every-time i go in reverse or drive does that means my crush sleeve is DONE and need a rebuild?
I got a 01 Sierra 1500 and I can’t get the center pin out it’s hitting in the ring gear and can’t figure out how it’s supposed to come out so I can get the c clips out. Any help
Hey Allie, cat buddy, I’m putting a new pinion seal and the yoke do you have any information on torque specs? 2007 Chevy Tahoe
First time I did a rebuilt on a diff,different, broke three bolts off the ring gear,had no idea they were reverse thread,luckily I was putting a new ring gear with new bolts in the kit,so no harm done.
I broke one off my first time! Lol. I was 16 at the time and had no idea, but I’m glad I was junking them gears anyway haha, lesson learned!
Great over all video I like to use engine assembly lube on rearend bearings and as far as zip ties stopping movement it didnt work on my exwifes mouth
How much torque u put on the gear end bolts
What size is the nut on the pinion gear?
Well did bruh!!!!!!!
I didn't realize this was this easy I think I'll just rebuild mine instead of buying a new one
Wish we had knowledgable people like you here in NY.
Succes
I'm I missing something..is there a video of how to set the backlash, pinion depth and gear pattern?
Can you just use the pinion to get preload.
why wouldent you do a small part of the video regarding the adjustment of the pinion? :(
Agreed. Set up of the pinion gear shims would be helpful.
He explained it a bit in the previous video...but you probably already figured that within the year of your comment. So from what I understand, for his application here, in order to get 24 ft lbs of drag on the pinion, you have to have the right amount of shim thickness on the crush sleeve eliminator. And to figure that out is to just either use a pinion depth gauge to get it as close as possible or to assemble and install the pinion (excluding the seal) as a sort of trial and error on the thickness...adding and subtracting until the pinion drag is showing 24 ft lbs. I believe the manufacturer of the gears should have instructions to let you know just how much shim thickness you should have on the eliminator for any particular application so you could just one-shot it, but that remains to be seen.
@@xxdemonshitxx thank you. i put a new carrier in i kept the same pin and ring cause i was too scared to do the pin. i will have to do it this summer. however i think i will get a super mechanic friend to give me a and when i get to that part. lol. thank you
@@ericm7994 I think the hardest part about doing the gears is actually having all of the tools to do it properly.
Good evening, I have an 89 gmc c1500, with a 3.8 rear end. Had mine done twice, I'm still hearing noise coming from it. Have called around, No one wants to work on it. Can you help me, please.
Good afternoon, excuse me, I have a question. I have a c10 85. They replaced the pinion seal, but it keeps leaking oil, which could be the problem.
What did you torque t
he cap bearings at I know you did the pinion gear at 1:30
I torqued the carrier cap bolts to 60ft-lbs.
I recently came into a Camaro LSD differential 10 bolt. If I take the ring and pinion out will it fit into my 1999 GMC 10bolt rear end? I just want the LSD.
No. The fbody has a 7.5 ring gear and the 99+ Silverado should have a 8.6 ring gear
How many shims did you put on the pinion??
Good day
On average, If you dont mind...How much does something like this cost to do at a shop. Just a rough estimate?
I'm confused with the crush thing on the pinion and how you have to take multiple tries for proper backlash and pattern what's the best way to do this for someone who doesnt have a lift, I got my driveway and jack stands
Use a crush sleave eliminator
How many shims does each journal have
Very true study watch videos mine was going smooth until went to put the axles back in the Kaydet O’Reillys gave me a bearing that was not right could not figure out for a day what was going wrong why the axle wouldn’t go in felt like a clown but your video is very very good
The wife actually figured it out I was throwing away the boxes the bearings came in when I remembered there was two different boxes with the bearings
Even though this is a 10 bolt would the build be the same for a 12 bolt truck axle?
yup, the 10 and 12 bolt are very similar in the way you build them.
Need to tell us what u torqued the caps to.
Thank you for your video. Would you be able to guide me with this issue I'm having. I have a 05 chevy tahoe, 3.42 gears. GU6,G80. lately when I turn in either direction at a slow speeds, my rear wheels start to lock up and drag as if I was braking but I'm not. I am also starting to hear a growl when coming to slow stop. Any idea on what can be causing this issue and how to remedy. It's my daily driver and need it back on the road. I am also running 37" tires. Your input or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Sometimes when the gov-loc fails, it will jam up tight, and mimic how a spool would act when turning, not allowing the tires to turn at different speeds. I’d definitely pull the cover and inspect the diff to see if anything looks bad.
@@AllieCatCustoms thank you for your input. I found my issue. Complete inner carrier destruction!! It looks like it began with one of the clutch pack retainers coming loose and off completely from a spider gear. I suspect this was causing the lock up when I turn. Making the spider gear come of its axis, eventually causing it to break off one of its teeth. I'm guessing the vibration inside was so great that the carrier actually shift enough for the pinion gear to score the casing and crack it. When I pull off the diff cover I can see the casing had teeth Mark's and it was cracked. When I finally was able to pull off the entire case it literally broke in half in my hands. Gears, clutches everything open up. Luckily the pinion gear and the ring gear were speared. No damage whatsoever on them. Specially on that pinion gear. Truck is back on the road doing just fine. This week I'll be replacing the front differential. 😩👍
Nice lift
