this is my first post in the axle section, though ive been a member since 2007. im going to be setting up a 7.5" with a set of richmond 4.10 gears and a lock rite (as soon as money permits, its sitting on the shelf at work just waiting on me to get the $$$). this will be my first time setting up an axle from scratch, but ill be doing it on a work bench and since its not in the truck im not in a hurry to get it done, i just want to get it right.
so far ive got the donor axle (not sure of the gear ratio yet since i havent opened it up and theres no tag on the cover), the ring and pinion set, pinion and carrier shims, the replacement bearing set with seals, new crush sleeves, ford marking compound, a dial inicator with magnetic base, and a spare inner pinion bearing so i can sand down the inner race and use it to check my pinion depth.
is there any advice you guys have or tips you can give me other than dont do it your self?
