Re: 12 bolt rebuild + Eaton

Now install your ring gear on the carrier. Some times it is really hard to slide the ring gear on. Heating the gear up in oven or with torch can make this easier. In this case it just slid on with a little wiggling. The torque on the ring bolts is 55 foot lbs. Tip: Snug bolts down pretty good with air tool and wait till its installed in housing to torque them. Imagine trying to hold that assembly while torquing in, people will point and laugh.
