I decided to check the flatness of the case mating surfaces while everything was apart. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cbc2937892.jpg

I felt quite confident that I had the differential carrier bearings preload set for a good setting. Basically I ended up setting it back where it was when we took the transmission apart. But, a couple people kept saying that I should set the preload by doing the pull string test. So I figured what the heck...I'll do the silly pull string thing.
I started by knocking the bearing race out a bit so I knew it was backed off. Next, we bolted the case halves together. You're supposed to put every bolt in, torque them all down, etc. We didn't do all that. I couldn't see how all that was necessary. We put in all the bolts near the carrier and just snugged them down.
So we did the thing and guess what? Ended up right back where I had it set. Oh well. Confirmation I guess.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...51ad8e3ba8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...48b476e7d9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...961be568fa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8db998ab5a.jpg

Worth mentioning...the manual actually doesn't say that you need to test the preload if you're reusing the bearings and to just make sure it feels right. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8e99e33b24.jpg

We cleaned the mating surfaces, bearing races, and bearing housings with acetone. Put bearing retainer on the bearings.
We painted the sealant on this time. We are not taking any chances.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...77125498d6.jpg

This part is always stressful. You have to make sure the reverse gear is lined up in the right place before you set the case half on. You can't really see in there as you set it in place.
As soon as we got a couple bolts in we tested reverse to make sure it worked. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...361e4579c9.jpg

I used my new bolt cleaning tool to clean a couple bolts. Most of the bolts didn't need to be cleaned.
All the bolts torqued to spec. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9cf4eabb6c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7cfc8d299b.jpg

We backed off the adjuster nut, applied some Hylomar, and put it back to the correct location. I splurged on a new stainless steel lock down plate so we installed it.
Lastly we installed the drive flanges and shifter pieces.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1238aa9876.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6b6817bbc9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9563d777b1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cfeae7a0d9.jpg

What is a bolt cleaning machine principle? Is it just a tapped hole?Quote:
