Anyone do there own rear gears?

See my gears link in my sig. Read each install article that I have in my writeup several times over until you understand. The article that says I have some pics and info if you have some specific questions, like setting up the dial indicator.

This link proved to be the most helpful in taking the info I had from the install articles, and putting them into my mind with his pictures. It really helped.

Backlash (maximum distance between a pinion gear tooth and an adjacent ring gear tooth) is set by the carrier shims, which are 2 huge shims from the factory. If you buy FMS gears, you should not have to even change them. My backlash was within spec with the stock carrier shims, but definately check it anyway. You never know.

The pinion depth (distance from the center of the ring gear to the top of the pinion gear) is set by the total thickness of the pinion shims. A pinion depth gauge is expensive, and with FMS gears you don't need to use one. All this is covered in my writeup, so I won't repeat it again.

If you have any questions, just PM me.
