differential
gears and all. setting up the carrier . how tight to get the bearings. how deep the pinion goes
OK. That gets real involved and requires some special tools. Lets start with the tools needed
Dial indicator with magnetic base
Inch lb rotating torque wrench. A click type will not work. An old style beam type works but their not as easy to read, but you can use one if used properly
A
GOOD accurate torque wrench with capabilities of torqueing to 240 ft. lbs. Don't even think of borrowing a click type wrench from the loan a tool program at the local auto parts supplier because most likely it won't even be anywhere close to accurate
12" Spanner wrench
Drivers to install bearing races and a press to install bearings
A set of checking bearings for the pinion are not a necessity but sure make things a ton easier. Without them you could be pressing the rear pinion bearing off and back on several times to get the pattern right and that requires a press and a large bearing plate. You can buy checking bearings or if you have a die grinder you can make a set yourself in about 10-15 minutes and save a few bucks. You have to go slow when removing material because if you take off too much it can let the bearing **** and give false readings.
A yoke holder.
A pinion setting tool. There are several on the market and the cheapest is from Ratech. Summit sells it for about $25. Haven't used it so I'm not sure how well it works. A 4" base depth mic will also work and IMO is easier to use than the professional depth tool I own.
A way to mount the case to make servicing it easy. Their an odd shape and don't lend well to clamping them down in the vise.
That's all the specialized tools I can think of. The rest are general hand tools.
Give me an idea of your experience with differentials and mechanics in general. If you haven't done a fair amount of mechanical repair you'd really be better off finding someone to help you or just set it up because it's real involved and precise. As little as .002" of an inch can skew the results.
Do you have access to all those tools? If so we'll go on. It will get real involved from here and if you don't have all those tools I don't want to spend a bunch of time writing it up for naught
BTW: have you tried a basic google search just to see what pops up?
Check out this thread I started to showcase home made tools and you'll see the hoop I welded together for mounting a 8-3/4 case on my engine stand. It's post # 149. In post #'s 162 and 228 you'll find a couple home made yoke holders
