How hard is it to install gears?

Gary - Your idea of tightening the adjusters with a punch is just, well, crazy. Let me break this down a little so I can prove your BS on you ever even working on a 8.25. First off, once you put the carrier in loaded with the ring gear and bearings, you then bolt down the 2 caps. The adjusters are still completely out at this point. You cant put the adjusters in while you put the caps on because you will never get them straight in the threads. Its impossible. You know what that means? The adjusters go in after the caps are on and can only go in through the axle tube. No you cannot squeak them in any other way. So how do you, without the proper tool, even get the adjusters started in the threads? Do you have a 36" long punch that does it for you? No you dont. Even if you could figure out a way to get the adjuster down the tube and into the threads, how are you going to thread it down? Again, there is physically not enough room to get your fingers in there to turn the adjuster. So how do you do it? The only way possible is with the correct adjuster tool that goes down the axle tube. PERIOD. Like you said, it aint rocket science. There is only one way to do it and that is the correct way, without a punch.

This just shows that there are some of us that have opened up a c8.25 and others that, well, have clearly not.... and they use a punch....

I did my 4.88s and did exactly what 5speed did
No way are you getting a punch/hammer in there to set it to the required torque specs. You're out of your mind, crazygary.
Prove us wrong, go pop your diff cover, and show us how to do it. Until I see it with my own 2 peepers, I call bovine excrement.
And I'll also agree that even IF it is possible, it's bad advice to be giving to someone who's never done anything like this before.
OP...do it right the first time. You'll thank yourself later.
You can go back down in your parents basement to.
And quit ****ing that poor little doggy, sick ****er.
LOL!!!!

Using a punch and hammer to tighten side adjusters is not a shortcut, just an alternate assembly method.
And anyone who blatantly states that it can't be done is not worth having a conversation with,
And now OP knows all the ways to get this job done, if he chooses to complicate the hell out of it, so be it.

AND the correct tool would be what was used at the factory to assemble it...and I assure you it was not a punch & hammer.
Stop being a child and accept that others are trying to the OP, not you, you are too set in your childish "I AM RIGHT" ways.
And I am pretty sure at least I know my *** from a hole in the ground. I don't wipe holes in the ground, and it would be more properly called a canyon too by the way.......my *** is kinda big.

It won't be long if this continues.
