tools needed i have a press if the bearing needs pressed on/off does it do the axles slide out easily any pointers is appreciated. first step is to get ahold of the service manual - this isnt something you want to just wing it - too many torque specs. and critical measurements. youll need a set of torque wrenches both foot-pound and inch-pound and the inch-pound must be either a beam or dial type a dial indicator and base a bearing splitter to pull the old bearing off the pinion a big pipe wrench and a length of pipe to hold the yoke while torquing the pinion nut replacement for the factory pinion holding tool and a bearing adjuster tool to loosen tighten and torque the side adjusters either the real tool from a diff. shop an old torsion bar or some pipe and fittings from the plumbing section of your hardware store. if you have all that or can get it and are willing to give it a shot heres some things that will get you around some of the more difficult parts in the service manual first use the combination of the pipe wrench around the yoke with a pipe slid over the wrench and wedged against the ground or the frame to hold the yoke while you remove the pinion nut its on there tight. measure both the old and new pinion bearings. they should be the same but in case they arent you can see how much you need to either add or subtract from the shim pack underneath the pinion bearing to compensate for example if the new bearing is .002 thinner than the old bearing youd add another .002 of shims before pressing the new bearing onto the pinion. if the new bearing is thicker youd remove that amount of shim. the rest of the re-assembly and set-up is pretty much by the book. when torquing the pinion nut to set the pre-load once you get passed the initial torque to start collapsing the spacer check the rotational torque with the inch-pound torque wrench very frequently. you can easily blow right passed the recommended rotational torque if youre not careful - then you need to remove the pinion put a new spacer on and start over again. youre obviously going to replace both pinion bearings and races - if it were me id put in fresh carrier bearings as well if you buy a master install kit for your differential youll get all the bearings. id also get new axle bearings need a slide hammer with a two-or-three jaw inside puller attachment to remove them - measure their depth in the axle tube first so you know how far in to set the new ones and axle seals.... cheap enough and youre likely to trash the axle seals with the adjuster tool anyway. is that all i think ill go out and change a light bulb this weekend in the dash. again. fmb north mexico .

greetings all my 2001 slt has app 65k miles on it. after highway driving for about 30 minutes as soon as i stop i feel a grabbing or creeking sensation coming from underneath. it happens after the 1st time i come to a complete stop after the highway driving. i have a buick with a posi rear end that needs a special posi fluid to stop the rear end from making the same noise while going around corners. im just wondering if anyone has an idea what this could be i just got it back from my local dodge service dept and after $1300 to replace the leaf springs the sound/feeling is still there. apparently no one road tested it either it pulls to the right now also..... so much for dealer service depts........ tia for any help mark .
