WE were setting up a set of 5.13's in a buddies dana 60 rear on his trialduster. our friend with a press in his garage is outta town for a while. WE used two highlifts, a clamshell and a block of wood to press on the pinion bearings. we're sure its not recomended by any of the companies whos products we used, but it sure did the job well.

 

Now THAT'S ghetto! Hey, whatever works!

 

you gotta do what you gotta do. what else do you expect a bunch of college kids to do.

 

Sweeeeeeeeeet!

 

Press on pinion bearings? I have built over 40 diffs and never pressed them on . But way to go using your nuggins to press them on, very nice

 

I dunno, ive never seen the pinion bearing jujst slide on. THis one was especially hard.

 

sure they will, just put the pinion in the deep freeze and put the bearing on the coffee maker hot plate and they will slide together nicely.

 

Wait for me to get back in town?

Its a good thing you guys figured out an alternative for when I move down to Charleston...

I am getting kind of excited. I can't wait to buy a house and get a better shop going on. They are going to pay me a bunch more than I thought they were going to (like almost 30,000 more a year) so maybe it won't take me so long to get back rolling.

 

Thats awesome news man. COngrats.
