@@msc1064Thanks for watching... This is an indepth detailed video. Its long but goes deep into setting up a diff. It will be the same as a D35.

@@rcf8367 Well that would be a blast to smoke some tires, but there is a break in period then a fresh oil change the let her fly. Thanks for watching.

@@Spikasaurus It works fine either way. The bearings dont get damage. Thanks for watching !

@@redneckchemtech7621 Thank you, glad you enjoyed it !

@@kevinmakelane123 Cherokees need to be slapped around. They get a little outta line sometimes. I will continue to do it the way I do it. I dont have time to dilly dally with strategies. Thanks for watching though.

When you say "seat the bearings" Which bearings the carrier or pinion? I may have to review the vid.

thank you very much.

Thanks for watching, I hope it helps you out.

Im glad you enjoyed the vid. Good luck on the 12 bolt. When I do anothe 12 bolt I will be using the crush sleeve eliminator kit. Im getting too old to crush those things...lol

⁠@@missingdigitgarage8644that's what I'm using on this build, a little more messing around with the shims but in case I get a leaky pinion seal in the future. Do you think I'd be safe setting my pinion preload shims for the solid sleeve using the setup bearings?

If your set up bearings are in good shape and possible same brand as whats going to be used, you'll be fine.

That is how I did it. I changed the transmission

Mose definitely only way

Why don’t you make a video teaching then? Or are you just some bum on TH-cam that don’t know what they are talking about 🤡

Thanks for watching, why does the heat gun turn you off ? Ive done many ring gears over the years this way and never a problem at all. Those gearsets are still going strong for years. If your so good at gearsets, then why are you watching my videos ?

Thats what I thought, nothing to back up the comment.

I have a front dana 44 reseal vid that is very similar to the dana 30. The steps are the same on both front diffs.

I open up the inner diameter with a flapper sanding wheel. I believe I show how to do it on the GM 12 bolt regear vid. I hope this helps.

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

It all boils down to a good contact paint pattern. Changing setup bearings has little effect on measurements. It does have some but an acceptable paint pattern is the last and end result you want.

@@miguelmaldonado9881 Sorry for the late reply, there would be a slight change in measurements with old bearings. These bearings were in great shape so I was confident It would work. Thanks for watching !

Thanks for your time and hard work. Best video I've seen yet

@@miguelmaldonado9881 They get you close enough to go for a paint pattern. The paint tells all. It does work in a pinch. It is best to use new setups but not a rule.

I do the carrier bearing preload by feel. It takes a small struggle to get the carrier in. The dead blow hammer is your friend during install. There is a method using the inch pound torque wrench and a little math but I perfer the "feel the resistance" way. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.

Im in wellton just east of yuma. I wonder what their paint pattern looked like.

@@missingdigitgarage8644 they were both very reputable shops in Phoenix. I've found many other people that have the same exact problem as I do and the common denominator is Yukon.

Im east of yuma 25mi in a town called wellton

Next time i do a 12 bolt i will go with a crush sleeve delete. its a bitch crushing those things. a true shoulder destroyer

Glad to help. Theres many ways to get the job done

Glad you liked it. Thanks

no I left it as is

The pinoin was in spec. No evidence of a spin on the pinion. There was so much wrong with the previous setup throughout that nothing surprises me anymore.

I installed the new ring and pinion before paint and I get the specs close and go for a pattern read.

Ive seen that linkage, it looks like it would work nice.

Hey buddy, welcome aboard !

Hahahaha , you are correct...who might this be ?

I didnt bypass nothing.

The ZJ has more bells and whistles. The XJ is much simpler. Good luck with soultion, I hope you get her running.

research installing a computer from a 4x4 zj. that may be the problem. I dont know for sure, but it could have something to do with it

It got me good. All healed up now.

How much are you going to sell for?!

Im new to az, ive been here 5 yrs now. Never heard of your town before. Im in wellton a small farming town east of yuma on the interstate 8. If you need any advice on the conversion just reach out and if I know the answer I will surely let you know. Good luck on it and shoot me some pics of it when its done. Cheers and keep on jeeping.

Oh ...as for a price on the sale...Im not sure yet. Im gonna do some cosmedic improvements still. Maybe 6k

Your work is beautiful. I'm sloppy. End up getting frustrated sometimes so I walk away and forget what's disconnected. I'm so brand new to the mechanic's world. But I do all the work on my XJ. Gotta send you a picture. Mine is quite unique.

Keep it slow for about 100 miles. Short trips a few miles at a time. Go inside and shop and drive it again. Fresh oil at 500 miles

You could easely put 2k plus in a rear end with parts and labor

@@missingdigitgarage8644 thanks

Yes I live in northern California parts and labor 2200 .

Love watching your video

Yes I am aware of a case spreader. You can get through the job without one. I dont even own one but I always get to my goal. Thank you for watching and commenting, have a great day and good luck on your project. Cheers.

Im located in southwest Az

Glad you enjoyed it.

Im glad you liked the video and good luck on your project. Cheers!

I was just in Williams last week scouting Elk. 1st time up there, beautiful. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Thank you, glad you like the video

Watch my other video called "GM 12 bolt " I cover the removal of the bearings. The video you watched was a new carrier so I didnt have to remove the bearings. I hope the video helps. Thanks for watching

@@missingdigitgarage8644 thanks. My carrier was really tight. Had to use a puller. I think there was too much backlash too. Guess I need a shim kit. The bearings all seem ok but was making a whirring noise under acceleration. Could that be from the bad install? It just had one thick shim on each side.

@@guymanicone7921 1 thick shim on each side is a factory custom shim pack. The noise you are hearing could be your pinion bearings. They may need to be changed. They are usually the first to start failing

Winner winner. Got the pinion bearing out today. That was the one. Great video, I'm going to use your procedure to set the shims. Ordered a kit today.

Why is that ? What could the downside of loctite be ?

​@@missingdigitgarage8644 I was just reading the book and the only place that gets loctite was the flange on the axle shaft tube where the breaks bolt on. I guess a downside is that if someone else services it they wont know it's on there and wont know to use a torch to soften the locktite but if you use the purple locktite it might not be as hard to remove. But now I would have to watch it again to see what color you did use cuz I forgot already.

@@hikerJohn So "The Book" didnt mention that Loctite is used on the ring gear also and the pinion nut? Install kits come with loctite provided in the package. The cap bolts are so strong that any impact or good size ratchet or breaker bar will easily free up the cap bolts even when red loctite is used. Thanks for watching and reaching out. Cheers

Im glad you enjoyed the vids and thank you very much. I love to go wheeling often. What part of az are you in ?

Do the crush eliminator, Its a struggle to crush those things. Especially if its under the car on jack stands. You can use the original shim thickness as a start point if it was set up correctly. If it was not set up correctly, you can use my numbers for the pinion start point and go where the paint markings tell you. Good luck and thanks for watching, Im glad you enjoyed the vid.
