- In this video I set the pinion pre-load and set the backlash again. Then I assemble the 3rd member. crown 5.38 gears, trail gear mini spool, lowrangeoffroad complete rebuild kit, and axle bearings that are koyo brand from lowrange offroad my go to place for my samurai. after watching my own videos I realize i skimmed over some important details, but soon I will do a video on installing a front locker and i will be sure to be more thorough. the 3rd member is the same except for 22 spline axles.
Thanks. I have never seen someone crush a crush sleeve in a video. Awesome!
Yeah, I included that to give people an Idea of how hard it is. It's really not difficult if you are prepared for it, but if you don't have a way to hold the pinion really good and a way to apply about 300 ft lbs on it then you will run in to a problem. Thanks for watching
Great video, good information for sure! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!

your welcome and thanks for watching
*********************
Setting Pinion Preload (front and back)
*********************
Samurai manual specifies 7.8 to 14.7 in-lbs Pinion bearing preload
Sidekick manual specifies 11 in-lbs preload(starting) torque
Given the two specs I'd target the Sidekick spec and consider
it good if it falls in the Samurai range.
*********************
Setting Side Gear Preload (front and back)
*********************
To achieve proper side preload:
MIN is 0.87 in-lbs + reading from Pinion Preload
MAX is 2.6 in-lbs + reading from Pinion Preload
I calculated these numbers based on the info
in the Samurai workshop manual pg 16-10.
That is very interesting, and I think you got it figured out. When I did mine the amount I tightened the carrier up, really didn't add very much resistance, and its still running. but I think what you are saying is a better way to do it. Its actually hard to find any real spec on a samurai carrier bearing preload.
@@davidcraft4909 I'll be doing mine in the next year or so. When I do it I may take the time to design and 3d print a special tool that would allow you to use the scales that are specified in the Samurai manual. As far as the special tool in the Samurai manual it's only a case of figuring out how big the radius is from the center line of the pinion bearing to the measuring point. With the special tool a person could use a good quality fish scale rather than a in-lb torque wrench. I do a lot of 3d printing for automotive special projects.
So when you first check you pinion depth do you preload it with 13 pounds but leave out the crush sleave and seal
Yes, because you can only use a crush sleeve once. And it's very likely you will have to adjust the pinion depth on new gears.
I thought i could do this myself, hell no!
It's really not that bad, but there are a few tools that you have to have. And if you only planned on doing one, it's not worth it to get all the stuff you need.
Is the diff housing aluminum?? What is the stock gearing?
On 87 samurai the diff housing or 3rd member is not aluminum. Its some sort steel. possibly cast iron. And the stock gears for samurais is 3.73.
