Jeep Dana 30 Gear Setup Part 2, Rotational Torque and Backlash

Jeep Dana 30 4.10 Gear Setup. This is part 2 of this Dana 30 axle rebuild and a lot to cover today. First I will cover how to get the proper pinion bearing rotational torque. Easy to take the pinion in and out with the help of a dedicated set up bearing. After 3 different shim adjustments the torque came in at 16 inch pounds. Dana 30 new bearing pinion rotational torque is between 12 and 15 inch pounds.
Next the carrier is installed and shim adjustments made until I get .007" backlash and a good tooth pattern on the gear set. Pinion depth is perfect in coast and drive side of the tooth have the pattern centered properly.
Bearing preload is set and the carrier is set in and caps torqued down to 50 foot pounds.
The pinion seal is installed, and yoke nut torqued to 150 foot pounds. A little bit of differential lube is added and the pinion seal will face down for a couple of days to make sure there are not any leaks. Now is the time to find them but with a new seal everything should be fine.

Hi Brian, thank you for this build. I am thinking of swapping a 30 for the 27 that’s in my Jeep right now. I would like to put disc brakes on as well. My cj5 came stock with 3.73 so looks like I’ll have to get new carriers as well. I would like to get 4.10s with an overdrive in the T case. Thank you so much for sharing, you are our Jeep guru!! God bless you and yours.

@metalshaperJeep Жыл бұрын

You won't need a new carrier. Dana 30 used 3.54 and up as one carrier and 3.73 and down as the other carrier. 4.10 will install properly on the carrier you have.

Brian, thank you for a great video. Someone else rebuilt both differentials in my 66CJ-5. I’m not finished with the rebuild so I’m going to pull both covers and see if I can find where the tooth pattern was checked. I hope to correct a problem before it starts. I had to replace both ring and pinion gears due to the fact they weren’t set up properly the last time! Thanks again!! My I’ll be in touch if I need help!!!!

I’ve been dying to really get into this stuff. I’m really happy to see the Dana 30 and I’m looking forward to the AMC 20 since I mostly work on later CJs. I didn’t realize there is anything to set up on the ball joints. That will be very informative. I’d love to see a T176 and Dana 300 in the future as well if you do any

hi, thanks for sharing your experience. please tell me for the thermal gap, do you use a special collar to easily remove and put on so that it is easy to remove and change washers or sharpen inside the collar? such pochevniki supposedly regulate? and if you grind until the ano sits down with a little effort, then leave them or press in new ones again? Please tell me, I have been struggling with these questions for a long time?

I’m probably stupid, but is a Rotational Torque Wrench the same as a Dial Torque Wrench?

@tlmckee2002 Жыл бұрын

Do you have to put in a crusher sleeve? I actually have this setup in the garage and need to do this exact process. other than the torqu wrench - no other special tools? Good Work! was thinking about paying someone to do it but based on this i should be able to do it...

@metalshaperJeep Жыл бұрын

The dana 30 uses shims, not a crush sleeve. To do this job you will need basic tools, and some specialty tools: Bearing puller Press for removing and installing bearings Rotational torque wrench Torque wrench dial indicator Ball joint install/remover kit A few other items that you may or may not have around your shop depending on the extent of your tools.

I do have a question on the Differential Preload Shim thickness (not the Pinion, but the Diff). The AMC 20 Axle specifies .008 of bearing preload. The Dana 30 Spicer Service Manual states .015 of bearing preload, and you are using .005. You would think that all tapered bearings of this size would have a standard amount for this preload, but that does not seem to be the case. Where did you get .005? A Service Manual, or your personal preference? I have been following your channel for several years. I do respect your opinion. Thank you Brian.... Mike

@metalshaperJeep Жыл бұрын

I have rebuilt hundreds of Dana 30's. If you try to add .015 for preload you will scuff the cups when installing it due to the amount of preload. I start with enough shims so I have to lightly tap the carrier in place. Then adjust the backlash and finally add my .005 to the bolt side. At that point it will take a bit more to install it and the preload is just right. As I said it is a feel type thing, the carrier should not just fall in and you shouldn't have to get a huge hammer to bang it in. Try one at .005 or .008 and see what feels like then try it again at .015 and see the difference.

@@metalshaperJeep I appreciate the response Brian. Thank you for the info

@mattoliver9939 Жыл бұрын

That .015 in the manual is when starting the carrier out with 0 backlash from the forum I read. Ring as tight against the pinion as possible. Then add .015 to drivers side to get appropriate preload and backlash. At least that was the gist of what I read. Think I sent you the forum on Facebook. Was hoping Brian’s new video would have mentioned that method but I trust his setups
