Rear diff rebuild

Soooooooooo. Has anybody done one, or should i send it to the pros??? Just finished the top end rebuild, so im not mechanically ignorant. Setting the backlash kinda scares me. Anyways let me know.

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?
