ring gear
anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the ring gear on the diff and get the bolt holes lined up and everything. my buddy and i are trying to do this now and are not having any luck. is there a special tool or something or a certain technique that i should use?

Re: ring gear
it should slide almost all the way down and you should be able to get the holes pretty much lined up b4 you drop it all the way down... then go aorund the gear and hit it with a rubber malet (not a sledge) then you can just tightin all the bolts and it will go the rest of the way down

Re: ring gear
um...no
son-bitch is pretty damn tigh on the carrier and theres no way we can turn it while its on the carrier without some kindof sledge device. what if i took a dremel to the inside of the gear just to loosen up the fit to line up the holes so i can torque down the bolts?

Re: ring gear
Dont take a dremel to the inside of the gear. Somethings not right because it should be easier to install this.
Just to be sure, are you aware how difficult it can be to get gears setup properly so that they work good and dont whine??

Re: ring gear
yes im aware, i was just wondering if there was some technique to getting the holes lines up. what i was originally going to do was throw the ring in the oven and heat it up to expand the metal. havent tried that yet, saving it as a last resort kindof...

Re: ring gear
What size gears are you using and what was in there before you changed them?

Re: ring gear
Call them maybe you have a defective set which can happen but it should be alot easier than you are describing

Re: ring gear
haha, thanks for the vote of confidence, and no i dont smoke anything. as far as i can tell im doing it right (although i guess im not doing something right). the gear goes down and there's maybe half to one inch ( i dont remember and i looked at it 15 min ago) clearance. i have to hammer it on the rest of the way. and it actually doesnt go on too hard, i think, its just that the holes are not exactly lined up and i really dont feel like pounding the thing off eight times until i get the holes lined up. the gears are not supposed to just slip on easily right?
