8 1/4 Gear Change Question
No problem getting the stuff out, Pettyblu. Push the axles in, remove the c-clips from inside the carrier, pull the axles out, remove the caps, and pry out the carrier. You might have to remove the center pin in the carrier to get the c clips out, I can't remember, either way its no biggie. Setting it all back up is the problem.
Alright, so I have a question about these housings. Are there any clearance issues in these 8.25s going from 2.45 open carrier to a 3.55 suregrip? I seem to be getting contact between the suregrip unit and the housing beside the upper right hand cap bolt, where there is a diagonal line coming off the surface of the housing where the cap meets it. It may be because I don't have everything setup right yet, and the carrier is too far over. Wish I had some of you guys around that knew what they were doing. I'll get there sooner or later, though.
Something seems fishy about all this. I hope I have the right suregrip for my rearend. I know it fits the ring gear perfectly. here.. I "borrowed" this pic from pettyblu.. hope ya don't mind.
