Re: Dana 35c Overhaul questions
Anywhere near San Antonio? I want to re-gear but don't want to pay someone
big $$ to do it for me. I'd rather learn to do it myself, but don't have
nearly enough tools (and in buying them I'd spend more than paying someone
to do it for me...). I've been known to pay for assistance in vast amounts
of beer, food, and general entertainment (laughing at my expense as I fumble
around trying to get something to work, of course)... ;-) So far I've done
two lifts on my TJ, intake, exhaust, all fluids, rock rails, cb, etc. It's
been a great learning experience. Had friends to help out when needed, but
I've moved!

Re: Dana 35c Overhaul questions
That's because the shims come in a kit with crush sleeve. Maybe you
just worked for others that may have had bins full of theses, but the
jobber had to buy the whole kit. What a Ford 9" from Summit looks like:

Re: Dana 35c Overhaul questions
Sorry, I'm in the wrong end of the world, Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. There
aren't really any specialty tools that you need other than a couple of
torque wrenches (ft-lbs and in-lbs) and a press. Get yourself a good shop
manual for your vehicle and follow it through. You can do it.

aren't really any specialty tools that you need other than a couple of
torque wrenches (ft-lbs and in-lbs) and a press. Get yourself a good shop
manual for your vehicle and follow it through. You can do it.

Re: Dana 35c Overhaul questions

aren't really any specialty tools that you need other than a couple of
torque wrenches (ft-lbs and in-lbs) and a press. Get yourself a good shop
manual for your vehicle and follow it through. You can do it.
