Dana60 gear swap

[wldgtx]

I have swapped gears in a Mopar 8 3/4 rear end, but never in a Dana. Any advice, is it straight forward? Suggestions? Best practices?

The best practice is the use of a service manual.

I just did mine and read this. http://www.billavista.com/tech/Articles/Gear_Setup_Bible/index.html

Only thing is the torque wrench that can hit the 250 ft-lbs and a good bearing splitter.

what we do instead of putting bthe shim between the rear brg and the pinion, is we put it between the rear race and housing. that way you only knock out the race and dont have to remove brg each time. works out the same.
