The pinion patter is on the acceptable side but is slightly close. Tried withouta shim and somehow it was to far out. Thankfully i found and old and i mean old micrometer. Shimming the carrier was the easiest part with the assortment from yukon. Almost complete. Autozone screwed me and ordered the wrong axle seals. They ordered the front. |

Re: 81 k10 12 bolt differential rebuild
Completed.
It was frustrating at first, but after installing then disassembling it multiple times. I am comfortable with it now. The most frustrating part was the crushless and trying the crush sleeve first. Thank you for all the help. Now i will have to get the proper gear for the np208 speedometer. Ill just be using my phone as a speedo for now. Ulysses speedometer has a cool program where it'll reflect off the windshield. |

Re: 81 k10 12 bolt differential rebuild
I’m going to be doing the same gear change here soon. Anything you would change now that you’ve done it other than not using the crush sleeve?

A good vise would've helped me installing the ring gear. I had to hold it while torquing the bolts. I didn't have the option to completely remove the axle from the rear which made it a bit difficult but definitely doable. I have been pretty happy with the moog non greasable u joints. |
