How To Install Ring & Pinion Gears in a Jeep Wrangler JK

Hey drivers! It’s really important to go to a master technician at your local 4×4 store to get him to do the job right the first time, when you are dealing with a lot of very tight tolerances and you have a number of special tools needed to get the job done. This selection of tools will be needed – a bearing ring and seal kit, a magnetic dial in the committer, a good set of digital calipers, an inch pound torque wrench and also a g2s bearing puller. So, keep it up, let’s go ahead!

So, you can run in and then change your liquid.
