I know some will say don't waste your time, but this is what I have right now.
I have a rear out of an 86xj and am changing the gears to 4:10 with all new bearings,the gears are used and in good shape. When I pulled the carrier out of the axle it just kind of fell out into my hands. Now,I have never done a gear change before but have searched on the particulars and everything that I've read says the carrier should have a slight press fit to it. I know in the dana30 I have I used the rag method to get the carrier out of the housing and when the carrier fell out of the 35 I was a little bit concerned, bent housing maybe ? I have also read that there are shims between the pinion bearing and pinion , but there are none on this one. There is a thick shim between the inner pinion bearing cup and the housing.
Any thoughts?
