This is BY FAR the best 8.8 rebuild and assembly video series I’ve seen. Thank you very much Eric for taking the time to show the process in all of its detail. So helpful to me, I’m currently in the process of rebuilding the 8.8 for my Capri.
In the Haynes manual the description would probably be, assembly is the reverse of disassembly.
Much better video than the 2 part videos. Somehow I get confused in them what you where doing but this one cleared everything and is finally very good and understandable.
Rears can be a real pain in the rear for sure. Thanks for the tips and pointers. I’m sure you saved me countless hours especially with the koyo timken bearing differences. You got a thumbs up from me for life. 👍🏻 Some videos will drive you crazy.
I watched both videos I can't tell you how many times I've been beat up taking it apart and put it back together just trying to get a good pattern.. So I was feeling your pain!! See you at the meet up Saturday.
Can't wait to build the 8.8 for my jeep. I've spent a lot of time watching and making mental notes. Appreciate the starting pinion shim tip. I'm starting without the old pinion shim so I needed a place to start.
Hi Eric,
Thank you Eric! Great video for us non professional do it yourself types!
NICE JOB ON EXPLAINING DIFF REBUILD LOVE YOURE SHOW
I personally like checking the backlash on the drive side of the gear so that the dial indicator doesn't ride down the coast side tooth causing you to reset the zero every time. Nice video.
This was really helpful, thanks for making this video.
I love these "cliff note" versions of videos as they make people feel incompetent when it takes them nearly a week to successfully do something they saw took like 30 minutes. :) "Just the facts" vids are helpful and time saving though.
Eric, a few months ago I rebuilt the front differential on my 1974 Jeep CJ5. Painted it black just like you did, but I wish I had a seal driving set! That would've made race installation so much easier
Eric my day is better when I receive a notification from your channel! Your videos are pretty pretty awesome! Thanks
Eric this is very interesting and educational bro never knew was going to be that difficult butt you did a great job and then
Great video Eric 👍🏻
I liked your caution by using wood for the press and vice, it moulds nicely to the surface and distributes the force, ive used sacrificial wood/aluminium for brutal jobs too :-).
Great Eric, thks, first time seen this diff rebuild.
Thanks for both vids.
Just the right pace. Easy to follow, but not so slow I needed to advance it. Just did my first one, an 8.5" GM.
