Last week I started rebuilding the differential with the new gears from the rear end I bought in Charlotte at the autofair. The gears were a matched set but the bearings were shot, so the plan was to take the bearings off my old differential and install on the gears from Charlotte.
The first picture is removing the pinion bearings from the pinion. Then, a homemade slide will remove the gear from the driveshaft.
Second picture is a close up of the pipe used to remove the gear.
Next is a pic of the original driveshaft and pinion gear in the back and the newer gear and Mitchell overdrive driveshaft in the foreground.
Closeup of old pinion and bad bearing, next is better pinion gear and and new bearings installed on Mitchell Overdrive driveshaft.
Last pic is the new gears and Mitchell OD driveshaft just before installation. I have the carrier with ring gear soaking in penetrant oil right now so that I can remove the bad bearings from that one and install the good bearings on the better ring gear assembly.
