You just saved me a ton of money watching this video. I saw some videos, where they beat the gears in place with a brass punch. I didn't fancy destroying 250 bucks just on spiders and clutches. My son's Jeep is a 2004 Columbia Edition and the rear end was trash. Bought all-new internals and was about to take the carrier to a machine shop to reinstall the spider gears and clutches when I saw this video. Took all of 15 mins to install and 30 to set up for assy. Thank you.
I really liked your video. I have a 1991 Jeep YJ, with the Rear Differential with Trac-Loc: Dana 35, 355 gears, “C” clip style. I bought the Crown Part no: 5252497 Trac-Lok Gear and Plate Kit for Dana 35 Rear Axle - 3.73 Ratio and put together using most of your video. I had a real HARD time moving the spider gears into to place. I did get the clutches and new gears in, but now I can’t move or rotate the spider gears by rotating the housing. I took an axle and put it in a wood vise, (not very strong vise) sat the housing on the axle, then tried to rotate the housing by hand and I can’t move the housing, it’s tight. Is this normal?? I then laid the housing on its side and locked it in the wood vise by the ring gear. then took the axle and tried to turn the axle by hand and couldn’t turn/move at all. Should I still put the differential assembly in the rear end housing in the Jeep or is something wrong? Thanks
The Dana Trac-lok looks VERY similar to a Yukon Dura grip.. If I buy a Yukon Dura Grip, could I use a Trac-lok kit to rebuild it? The Dana version seems to have more abundant clutch pack kits.
First, thanks very much for this helpful video! I have a 1991 Jeep YJ, Rear Differential with Trac-Loc: Dana 35. Am I right about sequence of the clutch pack? Side gear finished machine side up, dished steel spacer dished side up, disc #1, steel plate #1, disc #2, steel plate #2, disc #3, steel plate #3, disc #4, steel plate #4 against differential carrier
Is the use of the spare gears really necessary? Once you have the two spider gears in and rotate it to the position of the cross pin,that's pretty much it,right?

Can you guys do the same install with the chrysler 9.25 but with the carriers still in?
How did you guys get Jeff Daniels to do your voice-overs??

Hey Doug. Yep, that looks good 👍

the spare pinion gears clamped down like that compress the other side to allow enough clearance for the thrust washers to be installed.
Do I have to take the carrier out of the axle?
You do not have to, but it makes reassembly much easier.
What size bolt and nut is used to compress the clutches
A big one.
@@TehButterflyEffect thats wha SHE said lol
I could not figure it out I paid a 4x4 center and a Dodge dealership to fail there has to be a special tool
A little less music and a little more detailed explanation of whats being done please.
S-spring must be optional!!😂
that model has the belville washer behind the side gears, that's why the tool is used to compress it during installation.
I just found one of these little side clips, broken, and stuck on my differential magnet. No wonder they call these "trash-loc"
