My story about gears swap.
I purchased a set of 4.10 from Richmond and Installation Kit along with it. As i opened and looked for the instructions i grew very intimidaded
. But i was stuck i had already got the car set up on jacks and had the differental on the ground and had took of the old ring, and took out the pinion. I knew i was in over my head but i was since i started it, i have to finish it. I read alot of tech articles and intructions and 2wks later i was understanding what the instructions said and meant. So i went and dropped of my new pinion to a machine shop to put on the new bearing with the shims between it, i found out the hard way(the first time i forgot to tell them to put the shims in before the bearing). I them i put the ring on the diff. and went out and bought a dial indicator with stand around $200 which i did not need to spend. But i put everything back together and measured i was just fine, even with a measure from a professional. I was really lucky this time, the first time i started it up i was scared of a humming noise forom the rear. i took it on the highway , no vibration no noise. They have been running fine for 3 months. no probs yet.
If i would do a gera swap like this one i would have paid for it to be done. B/c i had a couple of painful neck and back crinks!
