Got a screaming deal on a Spartan for my D30 last week, and was going to attempt the install. I know it can be done without removing the carrier, (or so i've read/been told) ...but i'm also going to be doing my axle seals at the same time.... which I know I need to remove the differential in order to do.
My questions are this:
My FSM of course shows all these crazy specialty tools, which I've heard, more often times than not, are not always necessary.
Any and all advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys!
My questions are this:
- Do I need a case spreader to get the differential out?
- Do I need to check/adjust backlash before/after doing this job?
- I'm going to assume that if any adjustment are needed I'll have to pick up some shims from the parts store. (is that right?)
- Do I need any special tools in order to do the axle seals?
