the carrier in 571 has these little notches that a long punch fit in.  it mucks up any shims inbetween the race, but worked awesome to pop the bearings off.

why would you ever want to re use bearings?????

for all the work required I would toss in a new set.. I have them here

I have removed carrier bearings with a press and a custom made arbor plate and a scrap of tube...

Yup. Disks and desire of the 3.42s that are in it, not the stupid useless aside from grossing 50k 4.10s.

Sweet big box with a pair of 4340 axle shafts was here waiting for me when I got home. Wait, 4340? Free upgrade ctsy Yukon drop ship mistake?
I just checked my CC recent activity and the price charged is what he quoted for 2 15whatever shafts, plus $40 in shipping. Total bill is roughly what one 4340 shaft retails for.

I should probably call Dean and let him know in case he sees anything funny on his end.

Chad had a thought on the broken axle last night.

With 350,000 towing miles on them, they were probably pretty set in their stressed direction. If they were swapped side to side that could explain some pretty serious degradation in strength. They are equal length and were not marked.

why would they have been swapped side to side?

when the rearend was rebuilt - if they were just put in the same place, not marked. 50/50 chance.

just like Alex's tire rotation method! put em in a random pile and put em back on a couple times  ;D

i would disagree that side to side would matter


shat just broke


id still be interested if the gear set wore out, or if it was and impact break.  i guess thats why i had shops i dont know doing work.  Chances are the carrier and shaft didnt change much from when they did the gear setup and your little trip home...

there are pinion tracks on one side of the case, I bet it ate pinion bearings.

agreed on hating others working on shat but unless you buy new that's just a risk that has to be accepted.
