Ring and pinion front Bearing Not a slip fit

[rlb245]

Well apparently I missed that post. Dam looks like I got a spare part. grin! OK and the oil cooler rebuild to that list of to do's. Between the garden harvest and canning, rebuilding the garage roof and putting a new roof on the house. Plus the todo's on this old girl I got me a full dance card. I need that weekend in
Thank you icanfixall for that heads up. You more than likely saved me some time and embarrassment on that one. Where can I pick up that header and the gasket set for the cooler and what am I looking at price wise.

Thank you LCAM-01XA! for your input and another pre thank you for the link to the hardware.

Can't find my invoices from JBG to confirm the PN 100%, but these should be the bolts in question - pic shows 10 bolts but you will in fact get 12:

And like I said, they will also fit a front D60 (mine has 'em, well not from the factory, but it does now). Not sure if they will work with a rear D60, ain't got one of those to try it.

May also need one of these, if your new gears or bearings kit don't come with one:

They also have studs for the carrier bearing caps, kinda wish I had seen those a few months ago... Not that I actually need them, but I like overkill and price ain't bad:

ordering the new bolts and stud's now! LCAM-01XA thanks again for your help on this.

You know you don't really need those studs, right? And that the factory bolts are reusable?

 

[rlb245]

I no that LCAM-01XA ! An oz of prevention is with a lb of cure. I could reuse the old ones and probably go down the road just fine(BUT WHAT IF) (Do it right the first time) The peace of mind is cheap enough.

Ya but....but...

Those shouldered bolts for ring gear are stronger and less likely to back out.

Studs just hold better so for the price...WHY TF Not?

I didn't know you could get studs, now see you have gone and made my locker install diff swap just a weeee bit more exensive yet again, and am I glad you did, as well I'll be ordering two packs of shouldered bolts for both front and rear diffs!
