and you need a differual spreader for the shims on the carrier assembly. Check some of the speciality manuals, Trans and Diffs, they might have the step by step you're looking for. Biggest thing is don't rush it and be patient in getting the readies right.
: Alright, i've got an 8.8" rear end with 2.73 gears on it, i want to upgrade to 3.73. I have all the proper dial indicators, torque wrenches, and everything else needed to install a new ring and pinion--now all i need is instructions on exactly how to do it! Can someone either give me a quick-and-dirty or recommend a book on how to do it? The store wants $195 to install it...that's just not worth it to me, and since i have the tools, i'd like to learn how. Thanks!
