Ok so let me make sure i am going to do this right. i have a good understanding of how this works but there is prolley something i have over looked.
The plan
i have a D35 with welded spiders. Buying a D35 for 20 bucks and swapping in the open spiders and carrier from it. plus the spare parts. :bigthumb:
What i know
D35 is a c-clip axle. so i am going to use the spare axle as a practice one til my truck comes back. but heres what i understand. open diff cover and stare. remove drum housing and take the bolt off that is connected to the axle shaft. remove the center pin. push the shafts towards the center slighty and expose the c-clips in the diff housing. pull the c clips and then remove the carrier bearings clip things. from here the shafts slide back out the tubes, and the carrier should fall out. remove the ring gear on it. replace witht he good ring gear. use the shims from the axle in my truck and install this on the new carrier so everything will be the same. replace and make sure good contact is made with the pinion and ring gears. paint pattern them.( ? )reinstall the shafts and put back together. fill with fluid and drive around to make sure it doesnt installing explode.
point out my flaws, problems or anything. please tell me what is wrong. i am trying to turn this into much of a learning experiance as possible.
