@@Rat-Builder The "I've never had one fail" is because they aren't bringing it back to you. Every single technician has had things fail. Sometimes it was your fault, sometimes it's a bad part, sometimes it's random. There isn't a ton of room for error on bearing preload. I've seen a lot of diffs destroyed because someone thought they could feel what was correct. The pinion is the easiest to correctly set, so why wouldn't you? Even the Dana axles with shims are quick to get right. The fact that you even had to state you did at least one thing correct tells me all I need to know.

Thank you Matt and the whole crew for another great video! I think my favorite thing about you is that you are not afraid to admit your not an expert or know exactly what you are doing. But you always persevere and get the job done! I Can't wait to see that Corvair put to work.

I like using a toaster oven for bearings so I can get even heat and to be sure I dont go over 250 so I dont mess with the heat treatment.

Yukon is a third party purchaser. What that means is that a lot of store fronts don't but enough volume from say Spicer to get the price down. Yukon builds a list of people like this then they put in a large purchase order for optimal pricing. Then resells them to the people on their list with a small mark up. All this is drop shipped to the customer so the actual Yukon I think is actually a couple of offices with no warehouse which is how they make money. The reason for explaining this is so those who don't know now know that everything from Yukon is coming from the big brand manufactures like Spicer, Eaton and so on. Unless things have changed recently there should be no cheap china junk. This should be all the good stuff made in the U.S.A.

Boys boys boys. Carrier jig starts with pulling the pin, finding a 3/4 all thread rod 36” long, some coupler nuts, and grade 8 or higher washers in the right diameter to sit on the carrier housing axle portal. From there you should be able to figure out how to press and pull carrier bearings with ease. I’ve also adapted the same jig for a pinion by welding the old pinion nut(NEVER REUSE) to one end of said 3/4 coupling nuts to extend the pinion threads via all thread so a second coupler nut, a washer, and pipe could line up on the all thread to press pinion bearing.

Not many who can design, build and then set up a fabricated suspension system either, especially using string lines and squares.

I wish I had half the knowledge as you guys and was lucky enough to have a dad that could teach me half as much as Matt has taught Rudy. While Matt was teaching Rudy something useful I was learning how to weigh and sell drugs definitely something I’m glad I’ve never used in life. I’d much rather know how to do some fab work. Matt did encourage me to spend a thousand dollars and buy a welder setup to start teaching myself on and I’m getting pretty good (okay halfway descent) good enough to build my daughter stuff and hopefully teach her one day. I have much more to learn hopefully I’ll get a plasma cutter this month I definitely under estimated the amount of practice and knowledge it takes to be good at welding. Matt deserves a dad of a lifetime award or something I don’t even know him and I look up to him and hope to be like him one day.
