My Differential is clicking and screeching

[electro]

It may just be the Pinion Bearing.

Considering a press for bearing removal and maybe a hub removal tool?

Not sure how to reinstall Pinion Bearing though! A cup driver set? Not sure.

Starting to think I can remove everything and reinstall in same order as removed. Shims, etc.

Heat the inner bearing in a oven.

Put the pinion in a freezer.

Easy peasy

Removal is aided by bearing splitters, a press, step plate set, and puller.

You just need the right tools, a good magnetic base for the dial indicator to check the backlash. A press for the bearings, a highly accurate Tq wrench.

A beam torque wrench like KD 2955 will do great for checking rotating torque.

Also to crush the new crush sleeve you will need a pinion yoke holding tool

Usually the carrier bearings go bad first and get the fall out into the pinion bearing. Also side axle bearings may be affected as well.

Okay! Thats a lot for my small mind! This diff is giving me a head ache.

It would appear I need to acquire one bearing splitter and one press for bearing removal.

I can take everything apart now I suppose.

Putting it back is another story.

What all tools do you have now?

 

[electro]

I have a Canadian Tire torque wrench and I also have a Canadian Tire micrometer.

I may to also get pinion nut socket. I wish I had a manual!

No offense bro....... but you may be in over your head on this.

Get a manual and/or get a differentials book.

Nice, thanks, thats beauty! Now what are precise names?

I have a 3-Jaw Puller in my box now.

Bearing Separator, no problem, I can get that.

Second tool is magnetic base dial indicator, sounds expensive.

Fourth one, yoke holder. No problem, I can that.

5th is a beam type inch-pound torque wrench. Also, sounds expensive.

 

[Goodinblack]

You may be able to use the 3 jaw puller, but you will need a certain step plate.
