First of all, and I am not trying to be a smart----, but if you don't have a dial indicator and a stock of shims, a press, and knowledge on how to set up a ring and pinion, I would sure take it ot a proffesional. If you get the pinion depth to shallow or to deep, it will cause it to whine and have premature wear on the gear. You also have to have a marking compound to see wear the pinion is riding in the ring gear and you have to have the proper backlash to keep from wearing it out and whining. It's difficult at best to do it right. Good Luck.

Shouldn't be that hard to find. I have most of that at my shop on DVD through Alldata. It has to be printed and faxed. Email me @ larinc@gt.rr.com with a fax number and I'll see what I can do.[8D]
