I buy 2 inner pinion Timken bearings . Same brand same store, hone one shim to depth , check pattern. Then use the other warm in oven pinion in freezer. Wnen final ( hopefully) assembly ) Check lash moving carrier, shim there. Check pattern. Usually I have it good .

Thank you so much for your time marking this content !

Baller video! Wasn't the 86 F350 10.25" vid I was lookin for but great video; watched all the way through. Was thinking could've poured some scaldin water on the bearing before trying to pull. Papa taught me long ago to use heat/cold for engineer work. 💯🤠🍻

Always good to see that someone knows to use a torque wrench.

Not to nitpick but @ 10:14 you want to set the gauge up so it's as perpendicular to the rotation of the ring gear teeth as possible for the most accurate measurement. Having it only be 30-45 degrees as it looks here will end up showing you less backlash than there actually is.

I think you meant retna the aorta is a valve in the heart and qould need alot of force and woukd likely kill him

The video says that you should crush the pinion crush sleeve with a breaker bar. However, I had my Ford Excursion propped up from the rear axle and just couldn't configure a way to get the leverage needed to enough torque on that pinion nut. So I pulled out a 1/2" electrical impact wrench and the 1 1/8" impact socket and just laid into it. It DID eventually spin to a point where I got the correct preload reading using a rolling torque wrench. HOWEVER, that was my second try. On my first try, I was going less than a 1/4 of a turn on the nut before I would check the rolling torque. After about 8 times of getting the same rolling torque reading (almost zero), I got impatient and went 3/4 turn. Well, my next rolling torque reading came out to 125 inch pounds! No bueno! So that meant I had to take the nut off and pull the pinion shaft out and install another crush sleeve. 2nd time I was more patient...LOL.

I don't know about that work he did. It all seemed JUST good enough. Not shoddy enough to call him out but if that was mine I wouldn't have been happy with that outcome.

You can get a solid shim kit for a ford 9” rear end for the pinion to replace the crush sleeve. Thats what i did on my 10.5 when i had to do the pinion seal took me a bit to get the rights preload set and not take everything apart but having a diff temp gauge helped alot.

Hey, how many hours should it take a proper driveline shop to rebuild this differential . I am supplying the master rebuild kit . I’m getting quotes from 800-1800 just in labor

Breaking Bad automotive edition. Behind the scenes raw footage at O’Reillys with gangster beats in the background. 🤯

Why wouldnt you just press the bearings on the shaft instead of messing w/ torches and chisels

Great video very professional

My carrier has the same wear pattern from the pinion gear as yours at the beginning of the video.... what pinion bearing PN did you use to fix that excessive pinion lash?

That guy does some cool stuff!

Great job man👍👍👍

the yukon crush sleeve eliminator makes this a lot easier job. just sayin

Once the backlash is set, how thick are the additional shims you are using on the carrier bearings to ensure proper preload? Or did you use a case spreader?

Hey guys, replacing the outer pinion bearing on the Sterling 10.25 and its giving me some problems. I cant get it out. you guys got any ideas?

Great video thumbs up

How long do the gears last on these trucks ?

Did you leave the tone ring off on perp

What year make and model was the rear axle out the 10.25 and imma need all of the bearing and race Parts number for the rear the pinion bearing and the carrier bearings can someone help me thank you

Damn that is complicated.

Why do you like the 3.55 instead of the normal 3.73 gears that normally come in that axle? Do you do a lot of highway driving with light or no loads?

Did you leave the ABS/Speed tone ring off?

Hi, I have a 2004 f250 powerstroke and I do a lot of heavy equipment hauling. I always use ford genuine parts, however they are asking for a lot of money for the differential. Do you reccomend Yukon gears for hauling heavy equipment.

Wait - how'd you get the pinion out?

What year axle was this and what was the part number from the auto part store anyone remember?

Quick question can a 2006 f350 5.4 gas with a 4.10 ratio rear end work on a 2008 f350 5.4 gas with 4.10 ratio

Can you reuse the same crush sleeve if just replacing the bearings ?

Turned it off. Why do people think they have to have nauseating musak blasting you in the face while you try to concentrate on what the hell they're doing?

He should have a setup bearing all them dodge trucks

So the new Milwaukee Bluetooth impact won't torque it!?

My local oreillys hates me because instead of renting tools I bring my shit up there and work on it there store lmao.

I see you're in Isanti. I'm not far from you. How do I get ahold of you? I have a similar project on my 2006 f250 I might need help with.

How much to do all this?

Why do you make it look so hard.. It's a simple task.

what fluid did you put in that axle? thanks!

how much do you charge to rebuild this and where are you located? thank you.

Good video but the music is fkng annoying - )

they put a 10.25 pinion in it that has only 2 pinion bearings. a 10.5 has three bearings

Cool blue tooth.... Oh wait..

Red nec job

Not impressed and I’m surprised you are in this business

You need more lighting in your shop . Your eyes will last longer , trust me .
