Is there a website with a detailed instruction sheet on setting up gears in a differential??



I would appreciate any info or website anyone has access to. Thanks, Mike M.

There may be, I haven't looked for one. There are videos you can purchase. The most critical measurment is pinion depth, and you need a set of precision measuring tools made especially for that purpose. You'll also need inch and foot pound torque wrenches, dial indicator with attachments, and assorted hand tools. Unless you have all these or want to own them, you might consider just taking it to a ring and pinion specialist to have it set up.

I have the excellent Technical Video produced DVD for "Differential Rebuilding" It is clear and very well done. Excellent camera work. I bought it off eBay 2 weeks ago, ran it 5 times to familiarize myself with the Dana 44 (TT and non-TT) rebuild. Came to the conclusion that I "can do this", but that the equipment was too steep for what I am planning to make a one-time event. I found the local diffy shop that does all the work in a 3 county area, and they will do it for what it would cost me for all the equipment that I would have to buy.

So, I bought the DVD for 29.95 plus shipp> Is there a website with a detailed instruction sheet on setting up gears in
