So im finally upgrading from my 4.10s on my 83 yota and am swapping in 5.29s this is my first gear install and was wondering if there was anything i should know? or anything to make it go smoother and less of a chance of bad turnout?

Thanks alot.

 

using a "spacer" from the /79-/80 and shims .. is a way better choice then a crush sleeve you have now ..




.

 

Why is that? and where do i get those because i was gonna start on the install tomorrow

 

Solid Pinon Spacer such as this:

gonna take a few cool tools to do the install.
you can find several great write ups at Zuk's website: http://gearinstalls.com/
edit: be sure to mark your carrier bearings side to side...
get a master install kit for each third member

 

Yeah, I HIGHLY recommend doing alot of reading before you start, and as Robb said, ZUK's website has a TON of helpful info. Also there is this:

Good luck....it's not hard if you PREPARE and TAKE YOUR TIME.
