'05 9.25 rear rebuildable?

Lol you ignored the noise and kept driving it and driving it and driving it and the nut continued to back off and now the pinion fell in and instead of seeing what was making that new noise and carefully tightening it, now you need gears and bearings.....

In reverses the ring pushes the pinion up and into the housing, when you PUSH it forward the ring grabs the pinion and pulls it in locking it up....

start the truck and carefully drive it forward and when stopping do not let it get slack, keep power to the pinion...

OR remove the shaft and the nut should be behind the flange. . .




When your vehicle starts making a noise, look and see whats happening it didn't start making a noise just because it wanted to
