Re: Help.. gearing stupidity

Special tooling yes and a lot of patience getting the bearing preload and backlash correct.

Re: Help.. gearing stupidity

Press, setup bearings (make them yourself), dial indicator, accurate 1/2" torque wrench, seal driver, locktite...That should cover 95% of it.

Maybe a pinion depth tool and a case spreader...
