this mornin it really got out of hand, he jus keep goin on and on and of coarse i was gonna retallyate, but thankfully it all got takin out of the thread

[68chevelle]

ohhh. when i checked it there was only one post from him, kinda sounded like his first one in this thread the rest had already been removed i guess. but it sounds like the same guy that was saying crap a couple day ago and got banned.

[ridge_runner]

yea it was all the same guy, cause he kept raggin on me bout using the sledge, lol o well, ill use it again if i have too

[68chevelle]

lol. yeah you could always do an experament and compare how much force two different objects of ruffly the same size can take withought being crushed, like your carrier and say something oh i dont know like a head or something. i wonder what one can withstand more force.

[ridge_runner]

yea i didnt do any damage, the only thing i did was bend the axle case a little bit where the diff cover bolts up, well i just wedged a breaker bar in there and beat on the breaker bar, the pry bar wasnt working and it was just digging into the axle housing

[68chevelle]

yeah, how did you end up getting it stuck? was it the shims or was it where the ring gear was sitting because of the carrier being the incorect one?

[ridge_runner]

im pretty sure it was the shims, but it was alot easier to put it in, it went in no prob, jus 2 taps with a rubber mallet and it was in

[Hypsi87]

correct me if I am wrong, but don't you have to have a dial indacator to properly set the shims and put the proper preload on the bearing?

[68chevelle]

it must have jammed agenst the pinion or something. when i first started rebuilding rearents i had to find a way to remove the pinion nut. those are fun to mess with. i had to go buy a new socket cuz i didnt have one big enough. then went and bought a 4 foot piece electrical conduet, the stuff that is in the shape of a "U" kinda. and then drilled it to hold two bolts to go through the yoke and hold it in place so i could get the damn nut off. it takes like 200 pounds to get those things off cuz thats how much it takes to crush the sleeve the right amount when you put it on, not the edzact amount just ruff estamit. now i like doing rearends though cuz they are easy now. the funny thing is i have dont tow for my dad and a couple for frinds and i still havnt goten around to do my own. damn i need more money.

[ridge_runner]

no, i used the original gears, and one of the original shims, this is the first time ive attempted to do a rear, im planning on puttin 4.10s in soon, so this was basically a learning experience, i am going to purchanse a dial ind. this week, and get a 26 spline posi and set it up right, but one question about the posi, whats the difference between the gov lock and the clutch style, i got the concept of the clutch style but not sure on the gov lock, thanks

[68chevelle]

your saposed to but you can do it without. when your just putting a posi in then its not so much of a nasesity, you can usualy reuse pretty much everything if its still in good conditon and get away with it. to a sertain extent. well if you dont go and break a shim. how did you mange that anyway?

[ridge_runner]

actually i have no idea how i broke it or how it got broken i jus found it on the floor of my garage cracked in half i was quite pissed, yea thats was i was plannin on doin jus switchin everything over, but i did get all new bearings, the only thing i did was make sure i put the gear on right, spun it around put something under it and watched it as it spun around to make sure the distance from the socket to the gear didnt change lol

i use my 24in crescent wrench to hold the u-joint carrier while i break the nut lose with a breaker bar

[68chevelle]

damn, i didnt even know then made them that big.
