Like others have commented, very informative. Before this video i was 40% confident in doing my own re-gearing. Now I'm 99% sure i can do it! Thanks for the class!

I have watched many videos on this installation. I think that yours is the best by far. Very informative and very professional . Thanks and keep up the great work.

I agree Kelly! Brian and Three Rivers Wrench are excellent, his episodes are entertaining, informative and helpful. He's a pro not only in how he approaches the project and the mechanics, but also a pro in how he delivers the content.

Thanks for this series, i had a 77 coupe and did just about everyting you're doing. Brings back a lot of memories. Nice to see someone who knows how to set up gears, the only thing i do different is use shim packs to set pinion bearing pre load, takes a few times in and out but beats trying to crush that sleeve and overshooting.

Thank you!!

I'm restoring a 70" Nova and am now ready to install brand new diff, pinion & axles on my 8.5 10 bolt housing that I stripped down, cut off the leaf spring seats and welded 4-link brackets and repainted and now ready for all the innards. When you heated up the bearings and put them on the pinion & diff. Was that method done on both sides of the diff & pinion? And was that info in that book you mentioned? Very informational video. Thank you for making it! it explained in detail allot. I have a great understanding of doing this myself now with confidence. I will be watching this several times and most likely while I am installing all my new parts.

Yes, heated both bearings to install on the carrier, and you only have to heat the “bottom” bearing on the pinion gear.

excellent 😅

I'm curious, you did not mention if you do have the number on the pinion gear. In my case I do now what do you do when you have this number?

Hi, I have a G80 10-bolt and a machine shop removed the pinion bearing for me. Long story short they claimed there was no shim. Does the tool you used determine the correct shim you would need?

Yes it will. Keep in mind, it’s rare,but sometimes there is no shim. Doesn’t hurt to check though. Thanks for watching!

After you put the shims on the pinion gear and install it was you right on it and what do you think about that tool for checking pinion distance

Measurements were within specifications. Tool worked great! I was surprised. Just take your measurements several times to be sure.

So what happens if you can't get the c clips back in to seat 😂

Well…..sometimes you can tap the end of the axle with a hammer to push it further in. Don’t swing with both hands though, no He-Man stuff!😄 If that doesn’t work, time to take things back apart and make sure everything’s right.
