No, they are a matched machined set.
trying to replace rear pinion bearings 1993 ford aerostar, 7.5 rear differential...slinger washer on drive shaft side is stuck, cant get pinion shaft out, all differential parts have been removed...any suggestions?
Pinion is necessary to get to and replace the pinion crush sleeve that controls the pinion pre-load. It is also stated that a complete teardown of the differential is necessary as well.
no
No. The pinion seal would be at the differential input.
remove rear drive shaft. remove pinion yolk from front of diff.remove oinion seal replace with new one. replace pinion yolk, replace driveshaft,.. dhceck ujoints of drive shaft while out, its a good time to replace them
Which differential bearings? Pinion bearing? Carrier bearings? End axle bearings?
where is it leaking from, the rack? if so no choice REPLACE RACK UNIT
Preload is the amount the pinion bearings are squeezed together by the pinion nut.
The pinion seal is shot. A mechanic can replace the seal and check for problems.
Remove driveshaft, remove pinion nut, remove rear cover, remove axles, remove differential. Push pinion out through housing.
When working on the differential it's important to understand that it's far more than just replacing the part. If the pinion gear is not matched and properly adjusted to the ring gear, the differential will howl and fail prematurely. The process is not something that can be easily described, you really do need to have someone show you how.
not long at all
