Dana 60 too! Now you can see why Bacca harps on about doing the job properly is quite an undertaking.

Excellent find Dave.

That is the best explanation I have seen ever.

I even learned something there if what they say, about needing 40-50lbs of torque on the pinion to get the correct pattern, is correct.

In the past I have just pushed a bit of rag in and or leaned on the ring to produce some resistance. Didn't know you needed that much load.

Very good, although his definition of Backlash is a bit weird.

Degree of movement between gears before drive is engaged is much more straight forward.

its a top job on the subject really must have taken ages...

i like his fully rendered big super diagrams....

and no need for a Cross Bore Arbor either Chryler part 1234969434023-430242394032403243200=2=323423 availble at a Warwick Wright near you.... NOT

Me too- when i did mine i couldn't get that defined a pattern, now i probably know why.
