center section maintenance

[ibleedmoparts]

alright gang, here goes...i plan on putting the sure grip in my one legged 8 3/4 center section. I have never done this before and am looking for an exploded view, tips, wear pattern or any other things anyone can think of. I would also like to change the pinion seal while i'm there. So if anyone wants to share i'm all ears..thanks a million

well when you get ready let me know ill walk you thru it's pretty easy but is easier to exsplain over the phone the pinion is set up with a crush sleve and your torque will be set with a fish scale believe it or not should be 8-12 lbs rolling torque and the depth of the pinion is the hardest part but if you save the shims off of the old one youll get close to start with save your old pinion bearing intacked if you can it will make it easier pm me when your ready ill walk you thru it then we will post it on here for others
