So I've got an Aussie locker that wants to be part of the Halloween trip in my Dana 30. Who wants to help install it? I also have some tow hooks and may get some shackles for proper recovery points- that need to be installed. Any takers?

Do you know what your doing or are you looking to learn? That can be a fair amount of work so offering adult refreshments might net some more help. Post up your rig in the project forum to let people get an idea of what you are working with.Quote:

Aussies are pretty much drop in, shouldn't be too hard.
Good Noob!!!!:gigem:Quote:

You just need to make sure that you make the ring gear in relation to the carrier and install it in the same position.
you will need to get a roll pin punch to remove the roll pin that hold the center pin in place it is only a couple of bucks at Harbor freight.
other than that the only special tools you will need are a torque wrench, rubber malet or dead blow, and some red locktite for the ring gear bolts (they will back out if you don't put red locktite on them)
If you need anything else just let me know I have a full factory service manual for the TJ
You should go ahead and get one of these as well. I'll bring mine this weekend for now.Quote:

Right on. I have almost zero jeep experience but have set quite a few gears. Also my welding machine and plasma are currently loaned out.Quote:

Be careful with those stupid little springs. They like to fly towards the most cluttered corner of the garage.
bearing grease keeps the spring from flying so farQuote:
