I am wondering if you guys would recommend trying to setup my 529'e myself I am not a mechanic but do all the work on my yota myself with good results thus far. I have read so many forums on installing gears in yota 3rd's and it seems easy enough but it also seems that there is no room for error. Is setting the backlash an easy or pain in the ass job. How many hours per 3rd is the average to do this job with the 3rds on the bench ready to go? If I was to pay someone to do this for me what do you guys feel is a fair price to pay per 3rd to have this done? Thanks in advance for your comments...
setting pinion depth is CRITICAL your shim thickness must be within a few thousandth. and backlash also must be very close. It takes a LOT of time. figure yourself 3-4 hours for each 3rd.
