The pinion patter is on the acceptable side but is slightly close. Tried withouta shim and somehow it was to far out. Thankfully i found and old and i mean old micrometer. Shimming the carrier was the easiest part with the assortment from yukon. Almost complete. Autozone screwed me and ordered the wrong axle seals. They ordered the front. |

It was frustrating at first, but after installing then disassembling it multiple times. I am comfortable with it now. The most frustrating part was the crushless and trying the crush sleeve first. Thank you for all the help. Now i will have to get the proper gear for the np208 speedometer. Ill just be using my phone as a speedo for now. Ulysses speedometer has a cool program where it'll reflect off the windshield. |

I’m going to be doing the same gear change here soon. Anything you would change now that you’ve done it other than not using the crush sleeve?

A good vise would've helped me installing the ring gear. I had to hold it while torquing the bolts. I didn't have the option to completely remove the axle from the rear which made it a bit difficult but definitely doable. I have been pretty happy with the moog non greasable u joints. |
