.....just make sure to have some gear marking compound to check the wear pattern and if you dont wanna buy one , see if you can borrow someones magnetic base and dial indicator to check the clearance .......before you pull it all the way apart turn the pinion by hand onces you have the differential out before you ever loosen the pinion nut ....feel the resistance on it and put it together with new pinion bearings just a tick tighter than it is before you pull it apart ....make sure to have a new crush sleeve and good breaker bar .......and maybe an extra person to help pull on it to crush the sleeve .....they can be a pain sometimes
