Been a mechanic since i was 18 and im 39. Im a heavy equipment mechanic now and I’ve never done gears in a differential but have done thousands in industrial equipment. I’m trying to learn how to do this as I’m good at understanding physics and theory of operation. I know i can do it however I’m looking for a cheap beater for a week while im torn apart. I might rent a vehicle it depends on cost. Thank you for showing me exactly what I’m looking at..🙏🏻❤️

Extremely generous of you. Many thanks.

Lower control arm , I seen , where the adjustment bolt is placed facing towards the back ? Can you clarify that how it goes the way you show in your video

What ARB part number is that

What about the white paint marks from the factory on the carrier if it was touching it would be gone the marks on that carrier is from when it was machined at the factory

I congratulate you! need your advice experience! I have a jeep wrangler jk, a dana 44 rear axle, 30 splines on the axles, satellites were repaired, replaced with new bearings, everything runs well. but at low speed sometimes you can hear in the area of ​​the wheel as if the knock is not big! removed the axle, everything is normal, there is no backlash. the sound is as if a bearing has failed, but it is intact.

Thanks again for a great vid. My 98 TJ has a 4" lift with 1" transfer case drop. I installed upper rear control arms and got everything lined. What I am wondering is can I just measure and buy your set up without changing the yoke at the transfer case? Or do I need more room by doing a sye etc. I have a lunchbox locker, and I have vibration at 50mph I would like to get rid of.

Ur help is greatly appreciated. I get mine changed, of course the passenger side difficult one. The palm rachet was great advice and very useful. The rear screw was easy, the front screw however, very difficult. There’s a cup under it which attaches to a harness. Kept losing the screw into thsy cup. Got ti done tho

This is after torqued to spec?

this guide helped me. i however found ONE ball bearing on my bench after reinstall >.> so far the box works but i have one less ball in that thing.

just unplug it

Excellent, T/Y !

I am super impressed with this video. I have ordered the tools straight after seeing this video. Looking forward to receive and use the tool! Thank you

You had the pdc cable backwards...one end the hole is bigger.

Mine doesn't have 12 blacks and 12 chrome . It has like 14 and 10 , what can i do??

Thanks for the nice how to video. The instructions that come with the tool are pretty garbage lol . I have done tons of rivnuts with manual tool and the awkwardness of the tool about 1/25 resulted in bad set or sometimes even failed rivnut. This tool gets great results every time

Where do we get " a stack of shims" , what about our first time?

My names on there emailed a few days ago haven't heard back

Would this be the same as a yj basically? First time....

Really well explained video. Thank you for the attention to every detail🤘

Nice video. I presume the mandrills are too short to use with a plus-nut?

GREAT initial scene….Genius! (Love it)

I got my yellow tumbler right next to my work desk!! Thank you BFH garage.

Best Video Out There In All my playlist Great Job Great illustration You Rock !~!~ THANK YOU !~!~!~

Great video. Do you have one for the front? I’m swapping out my 30/35 for some TJ pull off Dana 44’ rubicon axles

may i ask.. what is the required backlash reading from the dial indicator?

I guess if the 11 people in front of me don't respond I have a chance at number 12 as the grand prize winner 😂

Congrats again folks!

I was listed as water bottle winner but didn't hear how to claim. 😢

the Grand Prize winner probably would like for you to keep it in your collection. it would look nice in the garage next to the others.

Damn! Still didn’t win!😁

good luck people

Working on a 2005 LJ. Needed a rear axle donor. Picked up a D44 out of a 1999 TJ with drum brakes. Tried swapping backing plates and axle shafts from the LJ. But it did not work like I’d hoped. After install of the 2005 axles and backing plates onto the 1999 donor axle. The rotors would make contact with the dust shield.

I finally got mine back together after many tries and two steering boxes. I have over 360000 on my suburban and found the inside of the housing was actually grooved. The hardest part for me was the ball bearings. I couldn't get them in there right for the life of me. Finally got it though after I understood all those bearings are meant to be "trapped" between those two holes. Obvious to most people I'd guess but not me.

Your video was a huge help I was able to complete this yesterday. I was able to get a small right angle multi bit screw driver with 1/4 socket attached and small extension. I was able to reach straight in with both hands , arms fully extended to set the socket but only operator it with my left hand. My face was literally jammed against the dashboard . I found it easiest just to do it by feel since you cannot see anything. My gears were not stripped, at first I thought the actuator was missing teeth, but appears to be designed that way. I noticed that the gear was rather loose, which was the issue compared to the new one. Thanks again ! Forgot to add mine was the passenger side actuator. Just follow this video and be patient with it and keep your cool you’ll get it done.

I personally would recommend just getting an "Inner Axle Seal Installation Tool" instead of using that pipe. The tool is like 30$ on Amazon and it makes the installation much easier and it's perfect every time! Cheers!

Circle K = (South) Korea? S.Korea,Taiwan, Japan. They are about the best forges in the world.

Still amazes me the amount of Guys that use regular sockets with an Impact Driver

Thank you very much for this great video. it helps me enormously. greetings from Austria

“Hear what it looks like” 🤣🤣🤣, love it, one take

I’m saddened to see that you needed help to load that axel. I watched the entire video, patiently waiting for you to do a set of standing curls after removing it. Disappointed, I’m going to watch videos of David Goggins running across the desert with no water 🙄

with that much slug you can also try marvel mystery oil a small amount about 10-12oz also after you run a while i also recommend changing or cleaning the oil pump filter it too maybe clogged up .i also believe your lifter is stuck maybe due to all that slug and of course an oil filter change

You've got a bad lobe on the cam, a bad lifter, rocker arm or trash in the bolt hole and even though torqueing it to spec, it isn't because of the trash in the bolt hole

Any tips on getting that end cap back on? Does it have to be pressed?

i just bought a 2000 TJ sport. why does it have one of these E lockers in the axle? how does it have one of these elockers in the axle?

Thanks so much! Big help!

Do you know if that will work with a 1/4” hex impact driver or only a traditional drill?

Man that was a killer video just what I needed to see before tackling this job I’m doing on my 2003 Rubicon. I’m not replacing the axles but replacing the wheel studs which are too short for my wheel spacers. I now think I can do this but I’m not going to replace any bearings unless I have a problem later down the road. Thank you so much for sharing 👊🏼

U really didnt explain the crush bearing / sleeve to well..did u just tighten it until u had no more play in and out?

How'd you manage to find a group of nothing but TJs to go on a trail run? Seems like I'm always either the only TJ or one of 2.
