Hi at all!
I am on the way to overhaul my 97 front axle. Everything's fine, get new Timken bearings and races, seals, shims, crush sleeve, nut.
Ring/Pinion/Spiders are in good conditions and I have the specs for the dana35, accept the preload for the differential bearings.
The outer left/right Torrington bearings for the shafts i could not find,
did someone has a hint?
As I have found out you need a case spreader for this kind of work.
This tool is for widing the case a little bit (x.xxxinch?) to put a 0.001 shim
on both sides to get a little preload?
The differential drive pattern are nearby i think?
kind regards
Wolfgang
