I've done a good bit of gear work before but haven't changed a whole ting a pinion to a new gear ratio. I'm working on a 08 jk rubicon going back with 5:38 G2 gears
Questions:
1. What is the recommended backlash on these gears? I'm gonna measure the favors ones but they have 113k on them so I'm sure they are a little looser..
2. I know some people have "set up" bearing and races.. I'd love to know how to make it to where I don't have to press on and press off every time I make a measurement and reshim.. Is this possible with the old parts?
3. Pattern check.. Haven't got there yet.. But hopefully soon.
Thanks guys!
