He could’ve checked preload and at least used a new crush sleeve for the $2.50 and tightened it to the old preload instead of depending on threadlock to keep an old used $5 nut in place. Maybe some sealant on the splines of the pinion. A lot of video but left out the important parts.

Aloha FT Makuloco, I just wanted to thank so much for sharing your knowledge unselfishly with the world. I have a '06 F250 4x4 and a 4x2. And though I have the complete volume of the factory manuals, without seeing or hearing some of your tips wouldn't give me the confidence to tackle most of the work myself. Your videos are clear, well shot w/good lighting, and comprehensive to understand. You are a gifted teacher and technician, just wished you were in Hawaii and on island. LOL. Please keep up the awesome work. (It shows that you enjoy your profession.) By the way, realizing an unbalanced driveshaft can cause vibration and lead to problems, like you said in this vid, what is your opinion on a 1-piece driveshaft? My 4x4 is lifted 6" and the 2-piece driveshaft looks straight and shimmed at the carry point. But the universals and the shafts are a bit rusty. I'm just wondering if to order stock or go with a 1-piece. I appreciate you, brother. Blessings.

I always pull the pinion gears and use a new crush collar so I know for sure what my bearing preload is. But I guess if your just buying some time before a rebuild.

@lesglover6515 9 ай бұрын

If your yoke isn't sloppy, you don't need to worry about a crushed sleeve. If you count the threads and the turns that it takes to get the pinion nut off, all you have to do is follow those steps when you put it back on with a little blue loctite. Everybody does that when they don't want to crack their gears and have to worry about setting lash.

@mysock351C 4 жыл бұрын

Personally I would normally replace the crush sleeve and outer bearing/race doing a pinion seal (gets damaged during the removal of the pinion gear). But it would be a good idea to measure the preload using an in-lb wrench before and after if your not replacing the crush sleeve. The carrier will add to the reading (about 2 to 4 in-lbs), but at least you have a way to verify that the preload is still within reason. Otherwise its just a guess.

@briana8308 2 жыл бұрын

The sleeve and outer bearing/race always get damaged during removal of the pinion seal? How would you measure the preload? Torque wrench? And would you also torque down the preload? What is preload? Do you then load?

@mysock351C 2 жыл бұрын

@@briana8308 I have sets of checking bearings that are a loose press-fit for setting up the rear. The bearings are fairly tight tolerance so there's no real variability on the final measurements. Basically the bearings can be removed/installed as needed when setting up the pinion depth. Final installation is then tightening the pinion nut with a large breaker bar and measuring the preload with a small in-lb. beam wrench as I go. I think Matco might still sell them. After that just a final check of the pattern to be sure all is well. But yes when driving out the pinion the front bearing can cause false-brinelling on the race from the impacts since its a press fit. Best to just replace them as a matter of course rather than try to reuse.

@JedGrant6 Жыл бұрын

Agreed, a new crush sleeve as well as a before and after pinion+carrier preload measurement, plus replacing the pinion nut are all ways to do it right. I cringed when he didn’t check any preload and just hammered away on the pinion nut. If it’s right, he’s lucky.

Long story short I hopped on the internet and found out that a lot of people were having same problem. The solution, grind down the clips until they fit. Not to worry about strength they were easily twice as thick as the originals. Thanks again without this video I would never have attempted saved me some nice cash.

I have the same concern and I figure it's because the race is probably just as pitted. Replacing the race would require pushing it out from the other side, which requires gutting the diff. It makes no sense to put in a new bearing into a pitted race? Unless the race can be removed from the same side, which I doubt..... If the bearing is pitted, the race is probably just as bad since they ride on eachother.

He mentioned that it wasn't being rebuilt "yet" so I think that's in the plans. Probably a customer money or time issue. When he replaces that bearing and race MOST likely the other bearings will be pitted too and that would call for all new bearings, seals, and possibly ring and pinion gears and more in a worse case. Makes sense to change the bearing when they plan on doing the rebuild.

I just changed my complete driveshaft to an aftermarket one with greasable u-joints from CCI Driveline in Casco MI, shipped right to my door in Louisiana, thanks to the nightmare known as staked in U-Joints that are $80 bucks a piece by themselves for the replacements with shims. Never mind the headache of having to fight with this staked in joint, one wonders if things don't go perfect if that stock shaft with shimmed joints would ever be balanced. The joints were still okay after 15 years just starting to squeal enough for me to worry about ruining this pinion seal which is still good. When I was swapping the driveshaft I noticed I was able to get a flathead screwdriver in one of the 2 interior holes to pry it off without having to hammer at all. Note the 2 small holes at 7:17 nearest to the seal.

I had an 07 mustang I put a 4.10 ring and pinion in and I remember the worst part was puttin the pinion nut back on and setting the preload. I took a 6 foot long pipe and drilled some holes so that the flange bolts held it in place and then had to use a breaker bar and a piece of pipe with the diff out of the car and then tighten that SOB down. It had a crush washer. Its really an art you just have to have a feel for. When it got close even an eighth of a turn could make you go over!!!

Great Video. This helped me a lot. I did it with a 12mm wrench. Made my own seal set tool out of exhaust pipe and a welder.

Excellent videos!! Please keep them coming. I own 6 different Fords and your videos have helped me do a bunch of stuff without relying on trial and error. Just did my 08 California Special. I just used the old seal as the "special tool" to tap the new seal in. I flipped it around. I marked the pinion shaft, flange and driveline flange to put them back exactly where they were. You didn't show anything about pre-load. I take it this rear end you can just use an impact wrench? I just counted the threads, marked a line through everything with a paint pen and when put back together just took the line on the nut about an 1/8" past the line on the pinion shaft. So far, so good. No leaks and no noise.205,000 miles and still going strong. The Ford service manual said to take off the tires, calipers and brakes and use an Inch Pound Torque Wrench to set the preload. Really?Do you think I'll be o/k? Should I have tightened it more?

What a great video!!! So much better than the other hacks out there. Since it is so important, I think you should emphasize using your paint marks during reassembly though.

Yes - agree about paint marks.

Even a Ford technician uses Mopar rust penetrant! That and Kroil are my two favorite rust penetrants out of everything I’ve used. Does Ford have their own rust penetrant? Marking the pinion nut and counting the threads on the pinion is a new tip I learned from your video! Thank you for all the tips!
