    I was in the automotive business for over 38 years , I have done plenty of differentials in my days , what you looking at in this TH-cam is a textbook differential assembly , this is the way I did it the mechanic shop way the easy way .
    1st ; Ring Gear Carrier bearing preload ,
    the first thing I will do is Ring Gear carrier preload before I even install the pinion gear in the case , I will drop the gear carrier in the case and lightly tighten the bearing caps holding the bearing in place ,after installing the Ring Gear and carrier I will use a rubber mallet and smack the front of the ring gear couple times then the back of the Ring Gear couple times making sure that the ring gear adjustment shims have settled in their place , then tighten the bearing cap bolts to specification and check the preload ,
    at that point I know exactly what size shims I have to use , all what will be left is swapping shims until the right contact point and backlash between the Ring Gear and pinion is achieved .
    2nd ; Salvage the old Crush sleeve or shims whatever you're using , install the pinion gear without the oil seal using the old crush sleeve ,(unfortunately oil seals on the market are not exactly all the same , and some aftermarket oil seals will apply additional drag on the pinion gear preload adjustment ),
    Install the flange yoke ; tighten the pinion gear knot just enough to hold it in place , keep in mind that the new crush sleeve will only give you one chance to get it right , and that's why the use of the old crush sleeve can be extremely helpful ,install the ring gear carrier and set the contact point between the ring gear and the pinion gear .
    (some Crush sleeves that I had to deal with made out of thin material that would easily Crush , others required extreme pressure before it begins to crush , therefore salvaging the old crush sleeve is an option that might come handy ) .
    If the crush sleeve was manufactured out of thick difficult to crush material ? I used to do some measurements and get a rough idea of how much Crush did the job require , then using the hydraulic press reduce the size of the crush sleeve leaving behind a small distance to be crushed after installation in the differential .
    therefore adjusting the pinion too ring gear backlash and contact points will be easily achieved without fighting pinion gear preload with the oil seal drag on top of it , if the differential you're working on uses shims instead of a crush sleeve then you are in luck , it is possible to adjust pinion gear preload to specifications without worrying about the final installation in which the oil seal will impose additional drag on the pinion gear preload adjustment , this way after you are done with all of the adjustments you could easily install the oil seal without changing the pinion gear preload .
    3rd ; after the final adjustments making sure it is where you want it to be , remove the drive shaft flange yoke off the pinion gear and install the new washers or the crush sleeve , install the new crush sleeve and the bearing then install the seal and the flange yoke , all what you have to do now is get the proper pinion gear preload keeping in mind that the seal is fighting you back .
    there was times where the crush sleeve was made from thick material and I had no option except to used the hydraulic press and crushed it to a light preload ,
    after finishing all the adjustments that was needed , I installed the oil seal and all what's left now is just a small amount of Crush sleeves preload , do not use air impact gun to adjust the Crush sleeves preload , it will crush too fast and you will lose it .
    Warning and if you words of caution and good practice .
    A used differential will require a larger amount of backlash , for example your dismantling a differential to replace a pinion gear shaft bearings , make sure to measure the amount of backlash on the ring gear and pinion gear before dismantling it , upon reinstallation it is ideal to get the backlash to what it was prior to dismantling it , do not adjust an old used ring gear pinion backlash to the book specs that deals with the new ring gear and pinion , it will be too tight .

    Thanks professor for sharing such a high quality video. I learned from this what I needed to set up my new gears. Just wish the tools didn't cost so much for the set up! I just wish you had a video about using a pinion depth gauge to measure pinion depth and not just a video about the backlash.

    There will always be those viewers out there that bash a posted video as this ( see a few posts below ) . But I totally agree with WeberAuto that it would have taken them a few hours to show all the different senerios with gear set up .
    Also I would agree from past experience ( incorrect pinion set up from a local licensed Ford Dealership ) which caused pinion failure on my truck's rear differential . That there are trained licensed technicians/auto mechanics that either take short cuts or just don't fully understand how to properly do a gear install .

  • @SuperRamcharger
    @SuperRamcharger 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for a cognizant, sensible explanation of a differential gear set up. I work in an environment where sometimes 3 ten thousandths of an inch is unacceptable and after my first gear set up, I was concerned... Now I understand it's not that big a deal. and I only have to work to the .001. I used Dykem for patterning and could see the difference between gear manufactures. I gave up and used white lith. Like another commenter said, thank you so much for your time and expertise.

  • @WeberAuto
    @WeberAuto  12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @djsteve1987 Hi, When you ran the contact pattern did you provide some load on the ring gear as you rotated the pinion? I usually use a pry bar on the outside smooth part of the ring gear to make it difficult to rotate and then turn the pinion forward 5 turns and backwards f turns. (Assuming the backlash and pinion depth are close to spec) If you still do not have a pattern on both the coast and the drive sides, you probably have a bad gear set.

    Hi, the C-clips do hold the axle shafts from coming out on those and many other axles. Other axles use a pressed on bearing and retainer at the axle shaft bearing to hold the axle in place. Thanks for the nice comments.

    Hi, the shims are selected by setting the side bearing preload first (with the shims) and then by adjusting the backlash (with the same shims). If you have no idea of where to begin, use the original shim thickness and go from there. I tried to explain all of that in the video. I hope that helps.

I am not giving up till I fully learn how to set them up correctly and you have taught me that in the mental sense now I am going to have to apply it hands on! thanks again for your knowledge!

    MrRealP x, I can't answer your question if you do not allow comments on your comments in your privacy settings. Rotational torque is the torque needed for a constant rotational motion, not to tighten the nut or bolt. Yes, both need the torque wrench to ROTATE, but one stops rotating when you reach the desired torque, the other never stops rotating since is is measuring the effort required to rotate the nut and everything connected to it. I hope that helps.

      John Dugger hello Mr John, I have a question on a Dana 80, is it possible to change the leaking oil seal between yoke flange & pinion shaft, without removing pinion gear. Or is this improper, one needs to fully remove differential install new crush sleeve and properly install pinion oil seal? I think I've answered my own question there's no shortcuts doing it the proper way.

  • @Mike-01234
    @Mike-01234 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    You used a plastic hammer to install the shims I have seen the use of a case spreadera device that bolts to the case and a bolt to spread the case apart a tiny bit to install the shims then released to check the preload would that be better then using a plastic hammer to install the shims? Example >Kent-Moore J-45222 Axle Housing Spreader

    • @WeberAuto
      @WeberAuto  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi, good question. A case spreader is only to be used on specific Dana built axles, no other axle uses one that I am aware of. Even when using a case spreader, you must be vert careful to not spread it more than spec (typically less than 0.019") or permanent damage will occur to the axle housing.

    • @Mike-01234
      @Mike-01234 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      WeberAuto Good point I knew that it was .015 but probably best not to use one don't want to damage the case. On another question preload on the carrier bearings could one use the axle to check the pre-load without the pinon installed? Normally most just check the preload overall with the pinon installed seems to me that the gear backlash, gear pattern, pinion depth all affect the ability to measure the carrier bearings preload.

  • @stuartcookie133

  • @WeberAuto
    @WeberAuto  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Hi, the new crush sleeve should be slightly longer than the old one because it is uncrushed until the pinion nut is tightened to the proper rotating torque. It is usually very difficult to tighten the pinion nut to specification because you are also crushing the crush sleeve at the same time. The crush sleeve provides the inward-to-outward force that holds the bearings in place when the pinion nut is tightened to specs.

    thanks for that I look forward to watching the g80 rebuild and I looked in my glove box sticker and sure enough it says g80 on the rear axle and from the pics I've seen of them don't think I am ready yet to tackle that! lol Hopefully your video will prepare me for that later down the road after I learn the more basic hands on with the open type! again thank you very much for your help your the very best I've came acrossed! what got me so interested in this subject is I had 2 so called professionals rebuild rear axles in the past and they went south after about 6 months and a lot of the older retired technicians have told me that theres a lot more to it then most know and it got me interested in learning this lost art! iam very picky with my vehicles I strive for perfection on everything I do! again thanks for the lessons on this and look forward to the g80 video! and love your ujoint series too! I always wondered about people smacking the drive shaft ears with hammers made me cringe because I knew it couldn't be right! thank you very much!

      It's only an assembly line improvement where all axles are the same and only the 3rd member is needed for variety rather than multiple axles or, repair shop improvement for differentials that need to be serviced more often. Maybe the quality isn't that good. The rear differentials in two of my four GM 1/2 ton trucks are in need of rebuilding after between 230,000-270,000 miles. Wonder if Toyota and Ford truck rear ends last that long as daily work trucks?

      @Mike-01234 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      alwcurlz I had a 1991 Toyota pickup that went 500k when I sold it no issues with the diffs in fact the entire drive train was good I changed the fluid every 50k about every 2 years. With synthetic like my F150 has ford says it's lifetime unless it leaks or you get water in it. If you cross deep river 4 wheeling then make sure you don't get water in the vent hose. I'm in AZ so not much water here to cross.

    This video has been very informative I watched the whole thing. Gotta get myself a dial indicator. Also very clean workspace major props on that. That place is like a hospital although it is a University so I would expect nothing less. Been an official mechanic for 5-6 yrs now, been turning wrenchs for over a decade and the internal workings of transmissions and differentials are things I'm really starting to get into and this video was excellent.Theirs gotta be a good way to load the diff for the ring and pinion tooth contact test while having the diff mounted in a bench holding fixture. If you really wanna teach about a crazy rear diff, grab a focus RS diff lol. Their isn't even any disassembly info or specs on the Ford PTS site.

    Very informative video! I replaced the planet gears in my car a year ago since the previous owner had welded them stuck. Since I had no proper tools, knowledge and skill to adjust it properly afterwards I sent it to the dealer. A year later, now, it rattles, oil is black and a lot of metal particles. Turns out even the dealer couldn't set it up properly. Expensive lesson for them.
