    Depending on the mileage of these axles You might entertain the thought of a complete disassembly,
    pinion bearings and hub bearings. Having rebuilt dozens of axles I have found it to be a better approach,
    You will also need a case spreader to get it together with the proper bearing preload. Not knowing how
     much experience You have I hope I am not out of line, but I have seen a lot bad "U Tube" rebuilds.
     Dana Spicer instructions also apply to any Salisbury type axle,needs to be right for big HP...

I had never heard of a case spreader until you mentioned it in your post. Did a little reading and it looks like a handy tool. I see a bunch of guys have used them or made their own with threaded rod and still others have elected to smack the carrier into place with a deadblow hammer.  What are your thoughts on the hammer method?

Best to use a case spreader.

Taking it into more pieces is always the way to get things on the road.



It'll probably be fine, and if not, it's easily replaceable.

Just give it a Krylon restoration and run it.

I'm replacing the carrier and bearings with a Detroit Trutrac

    Morning, the case spreader is needed to prevent the shims/ bearings from gouging the seating surface. Most often You have
     to remove, replace the carrier several times to get the proper pattern. Changing the pinion bearings will help bring things back to
      the factory spec. for those gears. You will want .010 -.014 in. carrier bearing preload if I remember right, hammering in and prying out
       ain't a lot of fun. I would loan You mine but shipping might be too much from Colo. and their not hard to build. All part of the Fun.....

   Another thing while I've got time, I don't spend a lot of time trying to get the "perfect" pattern
    with used gears. Focus on the drive side and get as close as possible, it will be fine. This looks
     like a really cool project, hope this can be of some help
