@cabotbroughton74583 жыл бұрын
Hello Brian, although this is an older video I really like it because although unplanned things came up in the job you let the viewer know what you had to do to get to the final good assembly. I would have never expected such a change in shims with a bearing change as I think they are usually the same within tenths of a thou. Hind sight being 20/20 it probably would have been nice to use the pinion measuring tool to see where it was before the bearing change. When I have installed new or swapped gears and don’t know where the pinion should be set at, I don’t bother with the pinion preload shims or crush collars that some differentials use, just tighten the nut with just enough torque to get the right bearing preload. Then when I have finally got the pattern correct(after several pinion depth shim changes)I take it all apart again and shim or install the crush collar to get the high pinion nut torque required to keep the nut from loosening off in service.

I take it that when we measure the rotational torque, we are looking at the average torque while spinning the wrench? And not the torque required to start the yoke moving?

Hello Tom, the felt washer under the yoke is not a standard part any longer and you are fine to install your yoke without one. If you are having a hard time with gear oil coming out the splines you can put a little modern RTV silicone, or permatex Right Stuff, on the very bottom of the yoke where it contacts the bearing surface.

I’ve replaced the inner seals on the front CJ2A axle. Pinion bearings/races look good. I didn’t remove races. One small shim on outer bearing. When I try to torque down the yoke and test rotational bearing load I can’t tighten the nut enough to load the bearings to any real inch pounds. I removed the one shim but it’s not enough to adequately drag the bearings. All I can think of is that my bearings are old and have too much play to tighten up. Your thoughts? (Your videos are unbelievably helpful)
@metalshaperJeep4 жыл бұрын
something isn't right, with no shims you should have some type of rotational torque. You are working on a dana 25 front end correct? There should be a spacer tube on the pinion and your shims should on top of that tube and under the bearing. If that is how you are assembling everything I would check the bearing spacer and make sure it is the correct length. with no shims in there you should be able to lock it up tight and not turn the yoke. Look over everything carefully there is something that isn't right. Are you sure you are getting the yoke seated down tight enough? Takes more than 150 ft. lbs. to tighten it correctly. Let me know. Brian
@thomasmiller18834 жыл бұрын
metalshaper ......it is a Dana 25. The pinion is marked +4 and 896 and something like 13 1H with an electric pencil on the bottom. One broken shim came out so I put one new in. The spacer is between the bearings. I only assume it’s the original. I bought the Jeep in 1975. With one shim I actually had play or up/down wiggle in the pinion/bearings. I removed the shim and tightened the yoke completely down with my impact snug. I have no play but no drag/load. Just tight but freely turning. I can’t imagine someone installed a longer spacer. All I can think of is that the bearings are too old and loose. Actually the outer seems to have more slop with the rollers. Inner bearing on the shaft seems tighter and less sloppy. I’m stumped except to buy new bearings/races. I don’t know the correct length of a new spacer to compare with. Note: my axle must be an early CJ2A as it has detachable steering arms on the knuckles.

Hello, your video was a lifesaver as I rebuilt my DANA 41. THANK YOU. I have a question; when I checked my preload, the rotational torque was good; however, once I put the rest of the axle together, the yolk is really hard to turn and feels choppy when I turn it clockwise. It is smooth going counterclockwise. The rotational torque fully assembled is around 75 inch lbs. I am stumped. Do you have any suggestions on what the issue might be?

It may be from lack of lubrication that is making it feel choppy. Are you carrier bearings too tight? I would try some lube and see if it feels better ,if not try to find out where something is wrong.

I have most of the hard-to-find parts such as the hub felt, oil seal, and NOS locking hub to replace one that feels bad along with factory service manuals but I don't know that my health is good enough anymore to try to tackle such a project. The front pumpkin is the same as the common IH RA-30 axle and the hubs are like old style front DANA 70's but one size larger (parts are still available from DANA or IH Navistar except at three times the price of the parts when ordered direct from Dana). This axle was designed by NAPCO for IH and manufactured by Dana/Spicer and uses regular drum hydraulic brakes. The diff is open (no locker or limited slip etc) and I want to keep it that way and the locking hubs were manufactured exclusively by Warn for IH. I know this is an old video but how do I contact metalshaper or does anyone have any other recommendations? To the best of my knowledge only hubs and brakes need to be rebuilt along with replacing all seals and gaskets. The diff bearings seem fine and I'm sure nothing has ever been opened up.

Thanks for another awesome video! I’m changing bearings in a model 25 rear axle from a 42 MB. Someone was in there before. I found no pinion preload shims and some shims missing from the carrier. The pinion is marked -2 and had .015 shims for the depth. With new pinion bearings and new .015 shims I figured out how many shims needed to give me 18” lbs rotational torque. I measured the space between the bearing cup and the housing (no shims installed) with the carrier shifted to one side. .070 shims needed including .008 for bearing preload. With back lash set at .010 I can only get the drive and coast sides of the ring gear to hit on the toe near the face. No matter what I tried I cannot get the contact near the middle of the tooth on the ring gear. Could these gears be too worn to get a good pattern? Any advice will be helpful. Many thanks in advance.
@metalshaperJeep5 жыл бұрын
Most model 25 axle assemblies have larger shim pack for depth. I have taken apart hundreds of them and the depth shims are usually around .028" to .032" you have a -2 so you need to add some shims so I would start at .032" and see where things go from there. That should put your tooth pattern in the center of the gear, but you will need to go back and shim for rotational torque and re adjust your carrier bearing shims as well. Take your time and make large shim moves at first, then as you get close you can make minor adjustments. Brian

Hey thanks Brian thanks for the quick reply. I was already up to .075 behind the pinion when I made my first post to you.

@metalshaperJeep6 жыл бұрын
Gina, are you using new or used gears? New or used gears should have the pinion marked with a plus or minus showing the amount of pinion depth that needs to be changed. Compare that with your old pinion number and you should be able to get the pinion pretty close. As far as the carrier shims you can start with the originals but they may not work. That is why I always use loose set up bearings when putting in new gears. makes it super easy to pull the carrier and remove the bearings to change shims. Take your time and let me know if you have any more questions. Brian

metalshaper , I'm going to use NOS. I'll pay attention to any marking on the pinion. I did order an extra set of bearings to sacrifice for set up. Can I make a set up bearing cup for setting the pinion depth as well where I reduce the ,OD ,so if I have to reshim they come out easier?
@metalshaperJeep6 жыл бұрын
Yes, check the pinion number + or - to set the shim pack. The shims for the pinion depth go under the cup so no need for a set up bearing. Just press it on the pinion and it won't need to come off again. The rotational torque is controlled by shims under the outer bearing. You can make a setup bearing for that one but they usually are not that tight so you can easily knock out the pinion to change shims. Refer to my video or shoot me a message if you have any more questions. Brian

What is the best grease or paint to put on the ring gear for the pattern check? Rather what do you recommend?
@metalshaperJeep6 жыл бұрын
the best stuff to use when checking the pattern is actual ring and pinion pattern checking compound. you can get it at any ring and pinion retailer, summitracing.com, or a good automotive shop. Brian

Where can I find the specs for my Dana 44-1 and maybe rebuild guides?
@metalshaperJeep7 жыл бұрын
All the specs for your rear end will be in the service manual. There is not a lot of rebuild info out there and that is why I have started making videos. Trying to get the help out there that people need when rebuilding their willys and jeep vehicles.

Can you use a setup style bearing for the outer pinion bearing?
@metalshaperJeep6 жыл бұрын
yes, just make sure it is a new bearing and when you make it oversize make sure it is precise.
