This video shows the disassembly procedure for an 8.2" 10 bolt rear axle. This procedure is the same for both 10 and 12 bolt Chevrolet rear axle assemblies. I am rebuilding this axle so that I can replace the factory 3.08:1 open differential unit with a 3.55:1 posi-traction differential unit. The things not shown on this video include the removal of pinion bearing races and the axle seals and bearings. The pinion races were removed with the assistance of an extra long brass drift and a dead blow hammer. The seals were removed with a seal puller. The entire diassembly process took about 1 hr. The axle will now be throughly cleaned and the housing will be checked for cracks and other abnormalities prior to painting and reassembly. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!
