installing gears
I just bought a set of 4.56 gears front and rear for a dana 30 and cryco 8.25 with an aussie locker to go in the rear. I am a pretty competent mechanic but have always said gears and transmissions are two things I won't touch. The cheapest shop around town wants $500 to install....seeing how I spent the money on the gears I am looking at doing the install myself. I also have rear discs I am going to swap on at the same time.
So, my question is, how hard is it to install gears (with master install kit) and anyone in Knoxville have a little free time and a thirst?

not to hard just make sure you make a set of setup bearings so you dont have to keep pressing them on and off. your also gonna need a descent dial indicator to set the correct backlash. theres plenty of how to sites online that will show you step by step how o get the job done
