Rear diff rebuild

Backlash is really easy. Read through this: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...nstall-161405/

You'll need a "dial indicator"

What parts are you going to be rebuilding?

i built mine, i actually enjoyed it.(but thats me)

like said above, send it to zuk

i mean your gonna need a bunch of special tools that are not cheap. ie, a press, bearing splitter, dial indicator, torque wrench(ft lbs and inch lbs) etc. not to mention all the lil tools i made, spanner tool, flange holder, etc..

not to mention memorizing his website
