  well i didnt find anything much,  the pinion bearing and the 'motor side' of the carrier  the bearing had spun

i'm just wondering if somebody (dont know why im a really nice person) put something in my fill hole

Seriously, nobody would do that.  Why even think that? Offroading is a hobby of breakage. Plus, anyone who knows how to open up the fill plug and knows what a piece of something would do to your diff wouldn't do that. That's more trouble than somebody is willing to go to for a chuckle.

Post up pics.

Maybe you damaged it somehow in the wreck, and driving all the way to Hot Springs did it in?

i know,  that's  just too off the wall

thats all i can think of,  i even pulled the carrier apart to see if one of the spider gears bit the dirt or if the "missing" part/object was in there but i didnt find anything,  there was a good bit of metal shavings in the oil




you can see where something smacked the carrier 








this bearing was spinning in the cap

[79coyotefrg]

i think the pinion bearings had spun on the pinion also

well i DID  drive 4 miles to town with very little oil in there

[Rocksurfer]

Are all the ring bolts there, my Willeys had one back out and did some good damage.

yep they was all there

[THK Matt]

that pinion gear looks BAD!!! not enough backlash and not enough oil in there.

[79coyotefrg]

actually when i took it out it had too much backlash

[THK Matt]

that would cause that too....

[79coyotefrg]

its together

used the old bearing race from the pass side to drive the bearing on the locker side


see nice and clean and new races installed




it feels so nekkid like this 

[79coyotefrg]

i had a perfect pattern  and had the backlash  just PERFECT

notice anything missing 

[79coyotefrg]

ok,  apparently everyone doesnt know

[llamas]

thats important?!!!!

[Duffil]

its ok glen all you have to reset is BL it is no big deal. It's not like you wheel that hing anyway just leave the locking sleeve out. The bumps at the mall can't be that big.

[THK Matt]

is that an e locker? that looks way different then my diff.

[79coyotefrg]

yes its a elocker   and yes  its IMPORTANT   i event thought about pulling the fork but didnt


and here it is all lock tabbed and ready


i dont have a  inch pound torque wrench but it took medium effort to turn with this stubby ratchet

[79coyotefrg]

after checking ZUK's site,  it appears this is  a decent setting approx 2 ft pounds according to my pendulum torque wrench

[79coyotefrg]

no surprise here lots of metal shavings on the drain plug





ITS IN  

Big Thanks to my Chiropractor  for coming over yesterday on his day off to stick that heavy sucker in the housing




i need to clean that shock off

Lemme guess, you're going to his place tomorrow to "align" his spine from helping you with that 3rd?

Congrats on getting them in, now on to the front diff.
