why not use the press to press the ring into the locker assembly?.. I am curious.. some people say pressing the ring into the locker is the right way.. other people say whacking the ring into the locker assembly with a dead blow hammer is the right way.. other people heats the ring to 200F and freezed the locker assembly.. other people use the bolts to drive the ring into the locker body (although some people say this is not a good idea as it could deform the locker assembly flange where the ring rests... Thanks!
Ok personally I feel like it all depends on the situation and how tight the ring gear is to the carrier. In this case is wasn’t overly tight so a few hits with a dead blow was all it needed. I don’t ever like pressing them on is the right way cause I had a ring gear shatter once and just never have done it since. Now preheating the ring gear is the right way for sure when it is overly tight. Hope that all makes sense lol
I have a dana 50 and replaced carrier and ring and pinion. I have endplay in the pinion after tightening fully, should it be shimmer behind the outer pinion besring race?
@@Gregmcd10 there should be non under the races you run either behind the inner race or behind the pinion bearing not both. You have the crush sleep removed for set up correct? Or are you on final assembly?
