ahhh.. good to know.

For an extra $100~ i guess its really not that big a deal for the piece of mind

 

You need a crush collar and pinion seal everytime you assemble the pinion to check the pinion turning force/ pinion depth. It can take a few tries to get the pinion depth corrrect. Each time the shim is changed, the pinion bearing must be pressed off the gear. The pinion seal is installed over the outer pinion bearing. the seal must be removed to seat the outer bearing.

If your installer insists he needs no new parts, find another installer. Low vehicle milage has no effect on the Crush collars and seal being 1 use only.

 

i understand. but i asked 3 times. this is the installer that did sideways and a bunch of other socal members gears. i hope your wrong, but i got a bad feeling.

 

Again, not worth saving $100~...

 

even the manual say to replace them. either hes doing you a favor and replacing it for free or he's jeapordizing you install to save a couple bucks.

 

I've setup a few diff's myself. You can't even mock up with a used crush collar. By the time you re-seat the bearings, you've crushed the collar even more, and increased the bearing preload.

I'll let Stratocaster chime in on this as well.

 

i got mine today. thanks Rick!!

what diff fluids do you guys recommend?
i've always use Mobil 1 75W90.

 

what fluid are you guys putting in these diffs. same ol stuff as normal.

 

that doesn't mean he knows what he's doing.

installing a ring gear set can be as easy as installing an intake....but installing a ring gear set CORRECTLY is not.

 

tell that to Sideways.

i dont know what the crush collars etc look like but there were some honda parts in honda plastic that look like washers and rings that came in addition to the ring and pinion. Strato, could you tell me what those other parts are?

guys, im confused as hell as this is my first time dealing with this. i hope everything goes ok.
