Re: Pontiac 8.2 Pinion Bearing

well... you really need a press. Some people will tell you to put the pinion in freezer and the bearing can be heated in the oven or some I have seen torches like propane etc... BUT the proper way is the press. We just use old beaing inner races after removing the bearings and cage then hone the ins...

If the rear is out of the car and you have every thi...

Re: 8.2 BOP Carrier?

well it appears to have the correct offset to hold the 3.55 gear set make sure when you pull your open carrier you take both carriers and slide them side by side to make certain they ring gear lands are the same height. That will mean you can put the 3.55 on the carrier and offset will be correct. Y...

The ring gear IS 4.11 set-up I know it has GM stamped into the gear...BUT does not have a part number leading to me believing it is a OLD scholl after market gear like Zoom or some old performance gear...

Re: 1975-Specific 7.5 5 lug swap questions

Well strip is where you will be at a disadvantage... WHAT are you expecting to do? How often? The build: 4.10 is better than 4.11 as even GM has realized that as they do not use that ratio anymore. 4.11 is 9 - 37 4.10 is 10 and 41 MORE teeth give you more touch point and bleed the heat off better so...
