31 Rear Axle Rebuild
I am continuing my rear axle project and now have most parts disassembled. The pinion gear was removed from the drive shaft and the axle housings are off. Today I will take apart the with the carrier assembly and inspect the spider gears. My question is "are there any adjustments that need to be made when re-assembling the carrier." I am using Tom Endy's 2014 paper and will go thru the pre-load process without the axle shafts and spider gears first with no paper gaskets checking for ring gear lockup. However, upon re-assembling the carrier I want to be sure that there is nothing to be adjusted or shimmed.
Thanks for your help, Ed |

One of the things I find wrong with many axle housings is they are bent, -especially on the flange to Differential Housing areas. They really need to be heat straightened and then the flanges trued in a lathe if you are doing a proper restoration. / . |
