Smiling! My dad would have had a cow to see some one using a claw hammer in his shop back in the day, and yes I used them before. He been gone for 40 years but you can't forget some of the things he taught me, and that's one I think about every time I use one instead of the ball peen hammer.
2:16 Good advice, I have seen other videos where the shade tree mechanic does fail at removing the wheel sensor and replaced the whole bearing with the sensor.
Is this kit compatible for the newer Jeep Wrangler JL's? with the Dana M220 rear axle? I believe I have the 2.72:1 Command trac part time 4x4 system. Cheers!
Hey dude, what was the gear ration on the JK you worked on? Looks like there are 2 types of the D30 eaton elocker - one for 3.73 and up and one for 3.54 and down. Which one did you install?
did you use any kind of sealant on the wire coming out of the diff? I see some people have used it. its my biggest question. is it necessary? and if so what are people using?
i do not, just size the hole properly per the instructions. i think the eatons call for a 7/16" hole. its tight and i have done dozens and not had any issues
i bet you dont live in the NE with salt. lucky you. also, why on earth would you ever need to take a wheel speed sensor in and out 100X on a vehicle? lol
@@smichaelR22 I live in Missouri and there is salt on roads alot. Might not be as much as the NE but still have it. And I go through ball joints and axle joints and axle from wheeling it in water, mud, sand and rocks. So I’m always breaking stuff. lol.
not all D30 are alike. i started with a 1975 CJ5 that had a small 267 ujoint, then cherokees with 297 ujoints, JK D30s with 760 joints and bigger ring gears, and now the JL generation of the D30 (M186) even more changes. Short answer is yes D30 are great when used responsibly and realistically.
Hey man....quick question. I noticed you are putting the shims for backlash on the outside of the carrier bearing after the bearings were pressed onto the locker. There are other guys that put the shims on before pressing the carrier bearings onto the locker? Thoughts....thank you sir!! Chris
some axles have internal or external shims. All newer jeep Jks are external shims. Older D30s like TJ or YJs have shims you put on before the bearings. Either design is fine- external is a little easier as you dont need to press on and off bearings a bunch.
