Can you replace the spider gears and shaft without removing the unit from the housing on a 7 1/4 open differential?
I have read that to remove and replace the unit requires a case spreader tool. Is it possible to do it without?Spider gear yes. Axle gear no.
Darn, I don't have that tool. Wonder if one could rent one somewhere?Yes it is. A case spreader makes it easier thou.
YOU DON'T REALLY NEED IT. JUST PRY IT OUT AND CAREFULLY TAP IT BACK IN.Darn, I don't have that tool. Wonder if one could rent one somewhere?
