Started on my brakes. Going well - pin came out easy. Have planetary off the rt side and brake apart. Wheel seals leaking on both sides so I'll have to get those. Now to the fun stuff. Bad bearing and race at rt side carrier - didn't want to see that. Do I have to take diff out to remove that bearing?? I haven't taken the left apart yet. Have drained diff as well. Does that drain diff and trans or just diff. Lot of fluid in there. Thanks.  |

| think there are a couple drain plugs under there and to get the brg off carrier it would be much easier to remove carrier.No problem once axle hsg's are off.I would just use existing shims on each side(keep in order) and call brg fit close enough. |

You are pass the hard part (pins) do like Steve said. I use a roll-around stand like below. You don't have to split the trans/rear-end to get at the ring gear carrier.     ------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

| Thx for the replies. Will continue in the morning. I'll phone local dealer and get some more parts. Don I like your stand. Makes it easier and safer. I"ll let you know how I make out. Ed. |

| Well today didn't go as well. Tried for a couple hr to get left pin out but no luck. So decided to cut it out. 3 cuts to get it all but actually not a bad way to do it. Could have saved some time if I had done that right away. So diff is on the ground - both side bearings bad. Rest looks like brand new. Wonder if the oil does not get to sides well or why these bearings failed? It was original diff fluid in it but didn't look too bad. |

| That is why universal hydraulic oil is better than that old 80-90 stuff. Thinner oil will get in bearings better. MACK |

Question for Don ! Are you going to make a twin stick shift? It looks like you have another input shaft in the left diff. LOL |

It also runs out the leaky spots faster!

| Manual calls for 50 lb torque for carrier capsrcrews. Is that what everyone is using? just wanting to confirm. |

| I would think 50 is enough...if that's what the book says why question it?You're making less than 50hp. |

| Yes I am less than 50 hp. Straight stock. LOL. Yes - thinking too much. |
