    here is how i organized all the parts to keep them in order...

    i still have to remove the pinion shaft but have to make up a special tool to hold the pinoin gear so i can remove the ringnut.

    then i will check everything carefully before i order any parts i need to re-assemble with the new lower ratio drop gears i have... good call redzone

    are all bearings, seals,lock nuts usually changed?

    D'OH!!!

    Sorry about that bro, that was my fault. I ran into the same problem while at Steve's (a.k.a. TheOnlyest) house taking apart his gearbox with Plugzit yesterday. We ended up just taking out the main shaft, which we would have needed to anyway because he is gonna have to replace his output shaft and both drop gears.

    I really like your setup for removing the shafts. Us, being Stooges, use more caveman tactics and beat it out.

    Has anyone ever had gears repaired with pitting like this? Of course, it's an unforgiving application, but just wondering? Weld/Metal spray and machine?

    LOL...

    its gets worse... actually its not second gear that is bad, its 1st gear and the mating gear on the mainshaft has pitting. So im looking for a 1st gear w/mainshaft...

    I was expecting 2nd gear to be the bad one. Does anyone have experience why 1st would go? Also just before i put the car away last year i felt some backlash while driving in 1st gear at slow speeds only.

    Awesome Daniel, not sure why you're taking the pinion shaft out if there's nothing wrong with it, but the tool you made rocks!
    PM Plugzit (Bruce) about the gears and stuff you need, he has lots of GB parts.

    i have to take everything apart to get at the drop gears i'm changing for the lower gear ratio. ( final drive ratio... factory was 3.53:1 and now will be 4.34:1 ) This is the last step. Then i get to put everything back together. :)

    Yes, thanks. i will pm Plugzit.

    Daniel,

    While you have it apart, would you please do the Brotherhood a favor and list the manufacture bearing numbers, and where they go? It will help the next guy save money BIG TIME if the "unobtainium" game is being played.

    Thanks bro, and AWESOME work!!!!
