529 rear install over-view
(7 low res pics loading)
FEB 16 2005


The rear install is very similar to the front so just the highlight pics are being shown. This one already had a Detroit "hardLocker" in it and just needed 529 gears.


The ring gear is loctited in to 70 ft/lbs and I also used some sleeve locking compound on the used carrier bearings. That way, they would never cause spun damage anytime in the future.


Being used pinion bearings, I selected .105" for the pinion shim just like the front install.


That's one of those factory solid collars. I ended up using .056" for the pinion pre-load shim to get the desired 6 in/lbs of resistance.


Looks like the .105 worked very well again. Drive side.


coast side .105
