Hey guys,quick question. Aussie going in my front D30 soon, still 3.55 gears for now, do i need a case spreader to reinstall the carrier? A couple write ups ive read said just pop the carrier back in the housing. My friend that just regeared his 30 said he used one to go back together. So i guess.. do it in my driveway as planned, of wait till i can bring it to his place and use his spreader. Thanks
 
we put mine in without one, you'll want a pry bar to convince it too come out, but no spreader was needed.
 
I have done 4 of them and never needed a spreader. A couple of them were a very tight fit, but still managed to do it without a spreader.
 
Ok, sounds like i can do it. Did you guys just have to tap it back into place, maybe with the good ol harbor freight dead blow? That was the only fear i have of doing this and hopefully not having it sit on jackstands for a couple days. Thanks
