Rear end rebuild

[dodj]

So which one did you end up going with? And did you just buy a separate pinion nut?

I went with the Richmond kit that claims to be for a 10 spline pinion but it actually comes with a nut for a 29 spline pinion. 

Also found out the Motive Gear bought Richmond. Just a little trivia.

Be sure you have a small beam torque wrench for checking turning torque. A clicker-type will not work.

[look for a 1/4" drive bicycle one to get low enough]

Thanks for info Goody.
Recently a friend introduced me to a friend of his that does rear ends for a living. He said after I get all the parts, to come over to his place and we can build it up together.

Good deal, that's how I learned as well. I've done dozens of setups since then.

And I can guarantee you that the kit comes with a nut for a 29 spline pinion. Just picked up the pkg today and checked. Fits the new Yukon 29 spline pinion.
