OK Ive paid for gears to be installed on three vehicles last one had slight whine), its time I do it myself. Ive done every thing that can be done to a car except gears n tranny rebuild. I know I will need a magnetic base dial indicator and inch/pound torque wrench along with a bearing puller. What else would I need and does anyone know if someone sells a kit with all the tools neccesary. I figure I'll do alot of reading and the first try will be on my bro's or a buddies car.

other than what you mentioned just your basic tool set and a big socket for the pinion nut, other than that if you are replacing the races than a big brass punch is needed. That is all i can think off of the top of my head.

edit: oh and pry bars also

air tools make life easier....and you may need a rather large hammer to bang out the stock pinion...need some 12 point wrenches, wd-40 for the ABS sensors if you have them,a 1/4" drive ratchet...and a case of beer.
