g2master rebuild kit for a dana30 is it east too install

 

you need a press, dial indicator, pinion depth gauge, bearing splitter, and torque wrench. If you haven't set up a diff before i wouldn't do it alone. If you don't have anyone to help you threw it then i would recommend you pay a reputable shop to do the work. It is not terribly difficult, but if set up wrong it could cost you a lot more money...

 

x2 ^^^^ if u havent done one before , the process will boggle ur mind. its not just nuts and bolts there is some critical gear mashin goin on . but if ur game giver i do all my own diffs but ive been down that road many times. good luck

 

i wouldnt say "boggle your mind". if you have any real mechanical skills its a simple task. its just a little time consuming. having the right tools is a must.

taking the bearings off the carrier and pinion.

you can get away with out having one and cutting the bearings off but i have seen people knick them and ruin the carrier and pinion so i wouldn't recommend it.

 

i have read that u can just press all the bearing off

 

Okay, Here's the deal.

First you need to ID the rear axle. That will help us help you.

Second, don't buy anything until you've made an accurate diagnosis.

Third, Open up the rear axle and take a look around. Report what you see and post pics if possible.

I'm gonna guess that you've got a Dana35 rear axle and that the side and spider gears in the carrier are shot.

 

yeah. the bearing splitter goes between the bearing and carrier(or pinion gear) and you press them off. its splits them apart hopefully without ruining them. when you shim a diff more then likely you will have to press the bearings off again to make adjustments.

He said its for a D30,but good questions. if you don't already know what is wrong don't just throw stuff at it. I assumed you knew what was wrong because you asked about a specific kit....

 

dam this sucks i thought it would be an easy job

 

He says a Dana 30.....BUT....the title says "REAR END" so.....is it really the rear or actually the front?????

 

LOL forgot the name of the thread I just reread the first post... def more info needed.

 

true i have no idea which one it is im affrade too open it up cause when i checked the fluid it was verry verry dirty front and rear. and i just figured it was the rear cause the noise was still there when i was driving around with out no front drive shaft for a few days while it was getting rebuilt.
