Ty YouTube algorithms for bringing your channel to my attention. Also as a reasonably accomplished shade tree mechanic with a driveway that looks like a Jeep dealership, I complement you on your technical expertise and on the excellent quality of your instruction. Sincerely yours, New Subscriber from Southern California.
Mike, how did you make your set up race? I’m thinking bench grinder or some type of device that centers it in a drill while holding sandpaper against it while it turns. Any tips?
Favourite mechanic; especially on differentials. The dana 44 has a well-made air-delivery system. ARBs have to be handled like eggs and you are always living with anxiety on the trails. What do you think?
Ring and pinion gears are set up on a machine that determines the deviation from the design figure. They are not "lapped". A new pinion from another set could be used but the pinion depth number might not be accurate. Other than that this an excellent tutorial.
Hey Mike, Just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for all your content you put out. After about 80 hours of studying, reading and watching videos (like yours) I took the plunge and successfully regeared my jeep myself. Your videos and break-downs were extremely helpful. Just wanted to tip my hat to you, you’re a great teacher and I love your videos.
I have seen, read and actually replaced a pinion seal myself with the axle all together with just marking the nut, housing and flange and tightening back to my mark after replacement. Do you think that gets pinion set back close enough spec in most cases?
Hi Mike thanks for your video . i have question. can i change a rear differential from lock to none lock on jl jeep wrangler can that work or its not ? thank you
Even though everyone else has said it. Great job. I’m ready to regear my diff. You’ve given me all the confidence and legit answered every question I had. Thank you.
Question. If you need to change pinion gear depth you adding or subtracting shims on inner bearing race. Does it mean that you should do at the same time add or subtract shims from outer bearing?

Is it OK to use the old bearings if they're in good shape, I mean they're not hurt at all ?
you area life saver. i had 3 sets of gears all mixed up now theyre all identified
Mike, how did you make your set up race? I’m thinking bench grinder or some type of device that centers it in a drill while holding sandpaper against it while it turns. Any tips?
Which would you rather do , install new gears or swap the whole rearend with another one,,,which is easier ?
Man I tend to be rather ocward with things when I'm wearing glove and turning srews and bolts, I don't see how you can do that !
Sir I noticed that u may use the brand revolution for pinion and gear replacements……how is that brand compare to original dana ??? Is it stronger ?
Im just going to pay you to do mine.. screw that mess.
Does this process work for a 2020 Wrangler Rubicon?

Great video! I Gotta ask incase I missed it. Is pinion preload measured with pinion alone, or with the carrier installed?
Even though everyone else has said it. Great job. I’m ready to regear my diff. You’ve given me all the confidence and legit answered every question I had. Thank you.
Thank you for making and sharing this video. love it.
It is exactly what I was looking for.
Question. If you need to change pinion gear depth you adding or subtracting shims on inner bearing race. Does it mean that you should do at the same time add or subtract shims from outer bearing?
Is it ok to do a setup pinion race like you did with the old race, find a good pattern, and then install the new race?
Or will the pattern be different after switching to the new race? What’s ur take?
