i have done a couple of rear end jobs setting up new gears in my cars and the only specialty tools you need really are ; a dial indicator to check the lash , and some shutoff ink to check the tooth pattern to make sure they are meshing in the center , when either of these is out you have to adjust it with shims to make it correct . i would agree and make sure you use ford motorsport gears , they are the best . i would also reccomend using synthetic 75-90w oil as it will also quiet it down and get some posi traction additive as this will bring some more life back into your posi .
