Servicing your differential: Suggested rebuild kits

[jr_ss]

The biggest issue is setting pinion depth. Unless you have a bearing reamed out to slide on and off, you have to press it on and off to set it right. This takes a lot of time and can damage the new bearing. It’s not overly complicated, but it is involved and there are various things to check/verify before buttoning it up.

Professionals who do it also can get it wrong, so yeah just get someone reputable do it..... Its not an easy thing

When I say I am in the process of building a differential, I am in the process of assembling all the materials to send it to a professional.

I'm asking for part numbers or a vendor (maybe a black Friday special) where I can buy all the parts to have a lasting differential rebuild

My point was, if the shop you?re taking it to doesn?t have these parts or ?jigs?, I?d find a new shop that has experience with these types of diffs.

Ah no need for that, I've had a close friend build a 4.3 welded diff in the past, he closed his shop and can still do it.

I recently moved and will have OMD_SD build the next one with the kaaz 2 way.

My partsouq parts will be in on Friday!
