That’s what it takes to get the perfect tolerance in a diff. I’ve built hundreds of them and my tolerance and the factory tolerance were much different. When set up correctly a diff will last a long time. I only ever had one bearing on a Dana 35 that the inner race was out of round.

Little tip from me that's been there many times! Clean the hole and the end of the broken pin with brake clean. Let dry completely . Then 1 small drop of super glue to the end of the broken pin and thread back in quickly. Give it a few to dry then spin the whole pin out! Works every time!!

[@Clean97gti]

@@chestervaldes7551 It's not a terrible idea to clean things out and if you have an axle seal fail, it would be more important. But it's really not that critical, especially if the axle seals are in good shape and weren't leaking. If you're really concerned about it, you could always epoxy a couple rare earth magnets into the bottom of the case to collect any big chunks but I wouldn't be overly concerned. Last time I put an axle together, cleaning out the tubes consisted of some degreaser soaked shop rags wrapped around a broom handle. Pretend like it's a big shotgun.

I love these realtime videos, great to hear the commentary, even during the boring parts.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

I've even had to grind the end of the cross pin to get to the locking pin before. That set up must have been Chinese steel. LOL!!! At least you are pitting in the finest "Made in Taiwan" parts. The shame is it's hard to find "Made in the USA" stuff anymore. Great job and attention to detail.

5 PEOPLE LEFT THUMBS DOWN ??? THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO---I WAS HOPING TO SEE THE CRUSH SLEEVE BEING INSTALLED, IT IS NOT A SIMPLE TASK. THANKS AGAIN.

[@wry569]

Amen! Who the hell puts a "thumb down" on this? Just some jealous know it all.

[@a222parker]

Yeah, there's an asshole in every crowd leaving thumbs down. Thanks for another great video.

[@brucejones2354]

The thumbs down were from the " other shop " that doesn't do good work!

[@lexdavis2179]

The thumbs down were from people who know how to do a diff properly, the methods shown in this video are very rough and not recommended. To see the correct procedure have a look at the Dana factory video on you tube

[@4thdimensiontravels855]

You have COMMON SENSE. Its so rare it should be UNCOMMON SENSE! Great job. 100% awesome setup.

[@babydriver8134]

I love you guys, really. i bought a one ton Ford van that needed carrier bearings (found out AFTER). The guys at the Diff shop told me the cost and said maybe I would rather sell it. I paused. I can't sell it with this problem! Honor dictates I fix it first, then sell if I wanted. I wish they guy I bought it from had such scruples.

If someone believes in Jesus, he better be on your side every day! Sounds like a kid using religious verbiage to gain an audience. Maybe, maybe not. Not judging just observing. A lot of worldly people do the same thing. They want to cry out to God during the bad times for help but ignore him during the good times.

The way you installed the snap ring went against everything I was ever taught or read on the matter of snap ring installation. Was that how the manufactory said to install it?

[@MemyselfandI001]

Yeah. I believe it's backwards also.

[@22099dscott]

I was told decades ago that the groove that the snap ring goes into is what determines which way to install it. Some snap ring grooves have a square edge, some have rounded edge at base of groove. You try to match the surfaces.

[@bovineknievel410]

He installed it correctly for this application. The sharp edge should not be pushed against anything. The round edge should take the load.

[@chrisrogers1833]

@@bovineknievel410 - Exactly. Another poster found this wikipedia entry with a diagram: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circlip

[@rtta51]

I was taught that you want the flat side facing you so that the snap ring pliers get a better bite on the sharper edge and won't slip out when removing the ring. Learned something new.

[@kyledoubleu8833]

Id cut the carrier. Your putting a whole new one in anyways

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

That's what I was thinking? Cut it out and move on.

[@terryrampey617]

A tip for getting the broke bolt out of the center pin ..take a small mini screwdriver that has a magnet in the top,like the sales reps give away...take a shrink wrap tube ,put the magnet in the tube ,heat shrink wrap on both sides of the magnet ,trim top edge as close to magnet as possible,,,,clean hole good with brake clean &, blow dry with air hose..(watch you're eyes!)..happy fishing..it will slide perfect into the hole,dont have to worry about loosei g magnet in hole,& as long as the magnet is strong enough it will stick to bolt & turn it ,dont force it ,stay calm & it will come out..

Keep the vid’s coming. Absolutely love watching. I could smell the gear oil. That’s good moisturizer.

[@stevetalbert2727]

The square side of the snap ring always faces out away from the load.You did a good job on your repair with a junk carrier but i hope you never rebuild a Hydraulic cylinder with a snap ring that retains the gland.

[@bovineknievel410]

No. He is correct.. The sharp edge of the ring will ride in the radius of the groove in the carrier as the ring is pushed outward if he installed it the other way. Sharp edge in a radius is a problem. Hope you never work on aircraft.

[@steved5518]

From an engineering perspective, what is the rationale for having a square side and a rounded side? Obviously the manufacturer specifies the square side on one side or the other. If it doesn't matter, it seems like a huge production waste of money for the clip manufacturer to take the extra step to round one side off. .

[@brucejones2354]

@@steved5518, in the stamping process one side of the part will have a rounded edge and the other side will have a sharp edge. These parts are usually put into a tumbler to take the sharp edges off before the heat treatment. Understand that time is money in a mass production business. It is a rare occurrence that any machining is done, mostly in aircraft or military conditions.

[@Texassince1836]

Do you leave that paint on the gears or do you remove that after you do the assembly.

[@russellv6234]

Its actually yellow grease so you can leave it on.

[@anjhindul]

It isn't actually paint, just a colored THICK grease It 'dissolves' into the gear oil and disappears on first oil replacement which SHOULD be done at 20k for most rebuilds

This is a good video. I just did the rear end on my 97 f150 8.8 rear to 4.11 gear with these spartan limited slip. It was time consuming but fun. I got lucky with getting my back lash perfect the first time. But I fully repainted mine so it took me like a month in my own garage lifting it by hand on done saw horses!
