i just set up my front end and used a piece of pipe, a hydrolic jack, and the rear bumper of an rv. it started picking the back end up and thats when i grabed the torch and helped it along. it went on fine, but i need more shims and i need to figure out a way of getting it off now. wish i would have read this before i started. got lots of old bearings laying around from old pinions. if anyone knows a way, let me know.
