Nice work guys, Keeping things simple and straight forward. Some of the specialty tools can be barrowed from parts stores or find a friend that has them that has done this job before.
This is the most clear and concise instructional video I've ever seen. Great work, guys! Robby's explanation of using pressure and a hammer to reshape sheet metal is what made me keep watching his show.
Thanks guys. As a noob, just bought a 2014 JKU, I'm excited and freckn nervous about doing these on my own. So glad glad there are people willing to give a great step by step on these things. I look forward to seeing more.
Colt, I seem to remember another option for carrier removal which was put a cotton shop rag in the gears and rotate the pinion yoke and the rag will force the carrier out. Could be something in a future video…
Robbie you need to make a tee shirt that shows an open rear end with a Yukon locker saying “Don’t Fear the Gear” by Robbie Layton , Colt and Yukon Gear.
As I watched you used the old race to press the bearing on the pinion shaft which is wrong This could possible put indentations in the new race causing What you should have done is use a piece of pipe that would slide over the shaft and hit the inner race of the bearing then press the bearing on I worked for a company that sent me to Timkin Bearing School
I was surprised by centre punch on the mating surface - would have thought it better to punch the housing adjacent to the machined surface. I appreciate that the joint will be sealed with silicone but best to keep surfaces as pristine as possible.
To actually do it the right way off of the old setup you would have to measure the over all length of the carrier and match that to the new one and measure the ring gear height to the outside bearing are the same. Same with the pinion shaft. Yes the old gets you close but measuring down to .0001 will get you right there. All these parts have a machined tolerance to them a few .001 here and there will make a big difference in what you need to shim.
You should never press with the outer race. Bearing rollers are not designed for that type of pressure being applied in that direction. You should only press on inner race. Or premature bearing failure could become an issue.
9:20 what are your thoughts about stoning the backside of the ring gear before installation? I’ve heard it recommended to ensure that there are no high spots or burrs, but it seems to be only maybe 20% of tutorials talk about it.
@@BigTireGarage Thanks for the reply, I love your videos!! It was probably one of yours that I watched which talked about it. The other may have been Dirt Lifestyle. It seems like a really simple way to check for problems and save yourself headaches and it makes me wonder why more people don’t talk about it.
