I think I have a solution that will work for me. Just wanted to see if I have missed anything.
I have a 29 spline 8.25 with 3.55 gears in my rig right now.
I have a 27 spline 8.25 with 4.10 gears sitting in my garage. (and a matching D30).
I have an Aussie in the 29 spline 3.55 as well.
I plan to swap the 29 spline carrier (with the Aussie) into the 8.25 with 4.10 gears. I know I will need to swap the ring gears and by extension pull both carriers and deal with the associated adjustment and preload, etc. at reinstallation.
Other than doing the above, I plan on replacing the bearings and seals in the 4.10 axle with ones for the 29 spline shafts. Am I missing anything? Based on my research, this seems like it will work and nets me better gearing and I get to keep my Aussie and 29 splines. I am assuming that the 8.25 housings are the same and can accommodate these changes.
Can anyone confirm or deny?
