Question: My 9" housing, where the pilot bearing seats, has no groove in it to hold the retainer ring. Every time I go to set it in place, it pops back off. What am I supposed to do?

does backlash move your pattern from toe to heal and vise versa

1995 camaro what spindle will give it a 3 inch lift

Excellent

I’ve seen many 8.8 videos say that you must use the crush washer for preload of the pinion. Why do you believe that isn’t need until final assembly?

Very thorough thank you

Great video but please stop with the terrible sound track. We came to learn about the rear end and the dumb music was a huge distraction.

I have a question got a 2011 cvpi looking to swap gears it got a 327 it's my daily driver I do alot of city and interstate driving whats a good gear to go with 373,390 I know 410s is too high for interstate

Great stuff on install but you didn't address why a add a leaf over a block. Looking at doing a 6 inch lift on my 2007 Silverado 1500. I still dont get if a block should be used with add a leaf or not. I thought and the video made it sound like if you add the one leaf addition you dont use the block. The video made it sound like one or the other, but at 6:56 you can see the "add a leaf" sitting on a block. Right after that at 7:04 we see just the "add a leaf" sitting on the axle with no block. So why the discrepancy of block/no block with add a leaf and how does a single leaf makeup for several inches of lift a block would provide. Totally lost on all these points.

you don't need longer U bolts when there is 3" of them past the nut

The only thing that went wrong here is that ford.

Hi, i got a mag Crwon wherl set, only on pinion are markings of 0,0 and a second 0,22. what measure do i have to check?

Really well done guys, thanks. i thought my pattern was ok but now i know the pinion depth is wrong, you saved me a lot of frustration.

We have to get an alignment done after this, right?

Great video! Thank you! music gets pretty monotonous

Awesome...nice.

why do people say it is bad to leveling kits? I have a truck and every shop is trying to sell me a suspension set which cost $1600 and I don't ride off road... mine is just a 4x2. so should I just do a leveling kit>?

I rebuilt my rear end a grassy field in a campground. This was my 2nd attempt at it. I used this video repeatedly for the important info to finally get a good pattern. I think I actually got it all correct this time. Thanks!

So i have spacer lift kit on my truck and i see the upper control arm is outta wack can i get a spindle and install it and that would fix the upper control arm being so outta wack right?

Like @joecurry7864, I've viewed a LOT of videos and your video is far superior to all of the others. Thanks for the content.

I would check the pattern after everything is torqued.. Seemed that was missing in the instructions.

What keeps the crush sleeve from crushing more when you torque the nut the finial time

Do you recommend rear shackles?

you guys rock

Great video. Looking at adding a leaf for my 2013 Nissan Titan. If you add them in the back do you have to add anything in the front or change shocks out?

I watched a 100 videos on JK D44 regearing and this is good and to the point video. Every single video always shows the perfect center placement (heel to toe) and it would be nice if someone would cover a good face pattern, but explain/show why the pattern moves the way they do from heel to toe and how to get it centered (is it possible or even needed? I read it don't matter). I just did my D44 with 4.88s and I had to do 6 different pinion depth set ups each with probably 3 backlash adj. My final back lash was .008" and my first pattern was dead center of the face, Heel to Toe, but the pattern was just too shallow as it was rolling off the top. My subsequent and final 6th pinion depth adjustments brought the pattern more center (Face & root) but it also made the drive pattern go towards the toe. The Coast pattern stayed more center of the face but toward the heel. It was my 3rd regear ever, and the other 2 have been good for years.. gotta start someplace.

Great tips!

How to compensate housing deflections with BGS setting in order to have a worth contact pattern ? Anybody has experience with this?

thanks. Great tips. Bought one. Please make more videos. I would listen to that woman describe anything.

I have a wolseley 1500 or morris minor diff broken off a pinion gear tooth diff still working do I need to replace crown and pinion wheel as a set and what is the correct t pattern on the crown gear?

I added 2 leafs to each side if my nissan frontier and it is anazing hiw well it lifted and supirted the truck

Ading a leaf is way better option makes your truck more capable of supporting payload. Ideally is to add a big leaf not a shirt one. A leaf that is just bit shirter than the top leaf. You can also add arc to these leafs which might be good if you want more than 1 or 2 inch lift. 3 to 4 inch lift requires longer shocks and also ading more arc to all leafs

Great video guys

This is the best video I've seen, thank you.

Great Video! I have a 2023 toyota tacoma.Can I use a 3inch Block and a add a leaf so I can get bigger tires and better Towing for My Trailer?

Great video. Wish all other youtube content was so well done.

good day I have a 2013 ram 1500 2wd it currently has a 2.5 inch spacer it looks good but it feels bad and sounds metal metal on metal I would like to know if I buy two inch springs from rough country or the spindles that you say I no longer want to struggle and drive comfortably do you recommend me?

Listening with a long screwdriver is how I check bearings on water pumps, alternators, listen to fuel pumps etc. Learned it from my grandfather. You would be amazed at what you can diagnose with an extra long screwdriver pressed to your head right in front of your ear. At the shop I worked in one of the techs was trying to diagnose an overheating issue. I listened to the water pump and told him the pump was getting ready to go out and it could be an intermittent cause. As I was the "new guy" he told me I was full of it. I told him out would be back within a month for a water pump. Sure enough it was. Another instance was the head mechanic telling me I left something loose in the rear end after a custom suspension install. This was after I asked if the car came in with the brake chatter I was hearing on a test drive. While the head mechanic was walking around grumbling about my "incompetence" and that it wasn't the brakes, I removed the wheel on the noisy corner, pulled the caliper and headed the dry slide pins and reassembled it. Noise gone, brakes good and suspension was tight like I knew it was. Problem solved. No apologies from the head mechanic though. I'm a Tech that informes the customer of other things noticed that will need to be replaced and what's immediately necessary and what isn't. Neither the shop owner or head mechanic would do that saying the customer wasn't paying to have those things checked and would never say anything. I let the customer decide what they can afford to have done. Sometimes they have the additional repairs done right then and sometimes they don't but at least I informed them of what to expect and approximate timeframes. I couldn't in good conscience let a customer leave without being informed. Needless to say I'm looking for work because of our differing opinions of what was the right thing to do.

Thank you for this video. It will be a big help on my GM 10 bolt!

Really good video...

Great video this guy knows his work excellent

I replaced the 2.73’s with 3.55s in a 2014 Mustang 3.7l. Gas mileage dropped off by about 12% but it’s allot easier and funner to drive on moutain widening roads.

Is this video assuming you already have your pinion depth set correctly? Or do you set it after checking backlash/ paint?

where can i buy the lift block for a 1947 Lincoln Continental front -need a couple inches of lift thanks

I made a comment but it evaporated! So, I'll repeat it here. Since I don't have a lift and I'm in my late seventies, I decided that trying to pound the the pinion gear outer bearing races into their recesses was a no-go. I used the old pinion shaft with the old bearings (honed out for easy removal) as an installation tool. I found a couple of old used shop bearings to act as spacers (large enough to clear the shaft splines) and used my impact wrench to draw the races toward one another (do not try to use the u-joint yoke). Checking the races periodically for alignment, it worked like a champ with no issues at all.

I have spent the last week viewing videos and reading about ring and pinion jobs. You guys ROCK! (now that’s coming from a 64 year old retired home builder) Clear, concise, easy to understand and a benefit to the community. Well done gentleman. 😊

I'm doing a ARB install with new gears and new bearings. My backlash is perfect and I've almost got the pinion depth right where I want it. Its still a little deep. But still have a sharp line deep in the valleys. Smooth spinning and no noise.

I got a 4inch block and 6 leaves on my rear. 10 leaves on the front. 04 f250😂
