Bless you !!! This video is great you show the real deal raw stuff that all of us regular people would experience. Subscribed!
Didn't came in s10 ,it didn't came some of the box Chevy this is the big bolt pattern
Ditto on Mr. Scott comments. Under my old pecan tree I will not have any pressing tools, so I will be heating up the old Dutch oven, I needs oil up any way….BR549, Deer Park Texas
A pinion bearing I like $20.°°. It's worth it to have an extra to destroy during setup. If you had gotten a new ring gear would you have used the old bolts?
Lmao guddamb bolt
dude great fucking video!! strait to the point. im tired of these other videos when they just fucking blab blab blab..
I got a 01 silverado with the gt4. 3.73 ratio…is it 8 bolt ten inch…is this the exact vid I need to rebuild my rear end lol
What did you torque the bearing cap bolts to?
Good video until you sat in the new diff and came back showing us it was already bolted in bro, i was looking to see you bolt everything back in.
How’d you torque the pinion, and check for bearing load?
Nice video man. Very realistic and also alternative solutions
1st step. Throw it away and get yourself a Dana. Corporate 10 bolts are fuckin trash
Thanks for sharing! Love the video!
You shouldn't have used a cutoff wh… Oh who cares! Great video man.
Ran across this video on accident. Looking for vids on a newer axle but I just learned something extra quick today. Great format and editing bro
I like using a magnet on a stick to do that job for fishing them out
Question, I have a 1969 10 bolt that is an OEM safe-t-trac unit.
It doesn’t seem like a real locker "both wheels" grip good when power is put to it.
Perhaps I misunderstand the type of unit, as I was under the impression it is a locker type .
I am familiar with Food 9 inch locker are POSI under all conditions and power.
So, is this unit you used an Upgrade better design, then the stock factory piece?
I’ll never exceed 450RWHP on street tires, so brutal harsh condition are not a real factor.
Or is there parts to beef sup my existing 10 bolt.
How much would this job be if you get a mechanic to do it for me?
My 69 Firebird has 3:91’s and is NOT a freeway car due to the low gears .
So I pondered to see what it takes for me to do gear set swap.
After watching this video, realized I’m out of my league to attempt this task.
Looks like time to locate a shop to do this for me.
Thanks for the video! You definitely had me laughing too
He put the pinion adjustment on the back burner by using the torch to get everyone's attention . Im curious to see how he held the pinion from rotating while crushing the sleeve.
That's the part of the video i was waiting for .
Don’t use a cut off wheel…..whatever hahahahahahh
