Be sure to measure the backlash BEFORE you disassemble it so you will know how to set it when you put it back together. Also do a pattern check with gear marking compound before you take it apart, and take pictures of the pattern. That way you will know if the pinion depth changed when you installed the new bearings.

Setting up rear end gears is a magic that I don't have the skill (or tools) for. I will bring them to the local guys in town that set up my other rear ends. They did a great job with the Pontiac 10-bolts I had them do.

Turns out the guys that I was going to have set up the gears closed up shop and retired earlier this year. So I will be bring the parts to Bontempo Brothers Competition (BBC) Speed Shop in Linden, NJ. Great shop, right out of the 1970’s. It’s just a much longer drive than my earlier choice. I had them do the 10-bolt from my 1972 Trans Am, fifteen years ago.
