11.5 Rear
0.055 thou recommended starting shim thickness
20-30 in/lbs rolling resistance for pinion bearing preload w/ new bearings
8-11 in/lbs with used bearings
.006-.010 thou backlash
175 ft/lbs torque r/g bolts
200 ft/lbs torque bearing cap bolts

9.25 Front
.032 thou recommended starting shim thickness
15-22 in/lbs rolling resistance for pinion bearing preload w/ new bearings
7-9 in/lbs with used bearings
.005-.007 thou backlash
103 ft/lbs torque r/g bolts
63 ft/lbs torque bearing cap bolts

Tips;

A note on the rear and front carrier bearings; you physically cannot over-torque the carrier adjusters. get it as tight as humanly possible and drive home the lock tab. this will generate preload on the bearings and pre-flexion (if that's a thing) on the housing so that when you hammer down, the ring gear isn't driven away from the pinion gear allowing it to ride out on the weaker tips of the teeth.

Removing the driver's side front stub shaft is a HUGE PITA. I recommend a long punch, remove the breather assembly and go from the inside against the end of the stub shaft while someone that's fatter than you and you don't like too much beats the living piss out of the other end with a slide hammer. keep things oriented straight and it will usually come out without breaking the housing half or being sliced in half w/ mr plazma.

how about because it suddenly started working again, without any issues. half a block away I'm opening with the clicker in the car. making sure everyone has door keys, but for now, status quo

I wouldn't necessarily change them out. I do push the full bearing kit to my regular customers because 90% of them haven't even changed the gear oil until this point, so everything is suspect, but for someone on this site, maintenance is a creed more than a chore and most likely if he hasn't got any issues now, they are like new and a lot more labor intensive than just installing the new locker.

Like Sam mentioned,  they use "boots" nowadays,  which is essentially a patch with a plug made to it, that goes through the hole from the inside.

If you have an the option, cut the plug from the inside w/ a pair of dikes, leaving the remaining portion in the tire, then patch. This from the ex-tire jockey. We had some pretty cool patches called em truck plugs. a pull wire attached at the end of a plug that had a patch attached to the other end, kinda like an umbrella. anything over 1/4" hole got one of those especially for the bigger trucks. Typically we would warranty out a tire w/ a tread hole larger than 3/8" dia, but if you can get them to do it, just patch it up. the plug will protect from new foreign debris and the patch will keep air from separating the tread.

Maybe if the owner of this site allowed for more posts to pop up on the main page I wouldn't find these questions a week late :o The grizzly externally is factory specs, so all you or any lay mechanic would need to do is transfer the ring gear to the carrier, and either new or re-use the carrier bearings and re-install. I recommend checking backlash prior to removal, flat filing the mounting surfaces of both the gear and the carrier to ensure little to no run-out; (.003 max allowable vertical and horizontal on both the carrier and the gear, so a total of .006 in any direction would be considered acceptable, but not desired). Your differential uses adjusters rather than shims, which makes setup a breeze. once backlash is confirmed, tighten the piss out of one adjuster to create as much carrier bearing preload as possible and set the lock tab. fill with oil, drive and enjoy!

P.S., Norm assisted on the writing on that d60 bible iirc. Too bad he's so busy w/ farmin' and shootin' and buyin' pretty stuff for miss K to chime in. probably off on some tornado chasin' adventure as we speak.

Since it's floating on pins make sure the caliper slides freely. Install the bracket and caliper without the rotor and move it in and out it should move smoothly and freely. Pins and grease are a cheap fix


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. uneven brake wear us usually one pad dragging on the rotor after you've release the breaks. either the piston in the caliper isn't returning to zero, either fast enough, or at all, or the slides are dirty and causing the floating aspect to be nil and allowing that pad to just ride on the rotor.

Didn't want to pour salt on the wound Shawn. Hope they get that straightened out for you. I'm going to risk it and order up the logic board. i'll post up the results, good or bad. I have your luck too; last year it was the door spring that I custom ordered based on their requirements but still wound up with the wrong spring.

2071
I'm near Whidbey naval air station, in their flight path. no activity from them sunday or yesterday, and I was able to replicate the issue and got some minor changes. I ran an extension to an outlet that was not on the same breaker as the garage and got about 3 more feet of distance from the unit where the keypad and clicker would actuate the door, but once closed it would not receive signal through the door. I have found on a couple forums that the logic boards often go out due to the constant vibrations and they are about $85 bucks and simple plug and play replacement.  at half the cost of a new unit and 1/4 of the time for installation, am I taking the smart, or easy way out?

2072
So the remote openers work when in close proximity to the opener, but not when moved farther away?  Sounds like you might have an issue with the antenna or it's connection to the main board.

I've found that there can be RF interference in the power supply, so I'm going to run an extension cord to a dedicated outlet to power the unit, and see if I can get extended range on the clicker and the keypad. if that doesn't change anything, I'm going to probably replace the logic board. $89 on Amazon. that saves me the time and trouble of re-setting up the whole system. I'll throw some pics up in case this ever comes up again and keep you posted.

2073
I'm going to take the cover off tonight when I get home for a visual, but that seems to be the consensus. it just hangs down and could have been caught on roof racks multiple times. just a little purple wire hanging out like a stereo antenna. my plan was to chase that thing back to eliminate the obvious, but if someone on here's experienced coding problems I'm trying to avoid spending a lot of time an effort in this to wind up replacing it anyway.

2074
Yesterday I was leaving to go watch my Hawks thump the Jets, and while leaving the driveway I got frustrated because the new battery I just put in the clicker must have been junk because the garage door wouldn't close. Jumped out to hit the button on the external keypad and huh, same deal. Maybe the battery fairy visited me this week. Didn't think much of it so I just hit the wall control which closed it then grabbed a 9volt on the way home from the game. It would not open with the clicker or the keypad.

Here's the next steps rundown:

Replaced all batteries
Re-set all codes individually
Master re-set all codes, unplugged motor and started from scratch
Ran out to Lowes and bought a replacement universal keypad
Determined that the old keypad, new keypad and all the clickers worked just fine... when standing directly beneath the motor!

Now I'm faced with a dilemma; 10 years on the craftsman 1/2hp unit, I'm sure warranty is up, so do I take it apart and try to find out what's the source of the problem? I'm not familiar with electronic logic boards, but I can read and learn and use a soldering iron. Has anyone run into situations like these before with simple solutions, or do I go get the new 3/4hp Genie unit for $198, or do I hire someone that knows what they're doing for probably close to a couple hundred to come evaluate it?

Any help, experience, insight and/or advice is welcomed and appreciated.

Yeah I've seen more extreme freak shows than that believe it or not. I still have a very nice over/under, the "forum rescue" gun, I like to call it, and I've yet to shoot better numbers with one of those fancy pants guns. That being said, I get smoked all the time by teenagers shooting things like that, so they've got their place. just good fun for sure, and the local gun club has more young girls than boys participating in the high school shooting sports teams. Your girlfriend's reach hasn't extended all the way yet.  :P

Physical road map for when GPS and other electronics are out of svc range, or just flat out fail. I remember navigating for my Dad on our road trip from Everett, WA to Lake Powell, Bryce and Arches and it was folding maps only back in '97. Although Utah is pretty tough to get lost in the cities there's a lot of ground between you and Cali.

Sophie turned 6 on the 14th. (Also our wedding anniversary. Ironically I think God did that on purpose so I can never forget either). Sophie requested toad in the hole with bacon, orange chicken with rice and chocolate cake for her birthday dinner. Her Nana made pear, upside down chocolate cake with salted caramel. We couldn't find a "big 6" candle, so Sophie said "5+1 is 6, we can just use a 5 candle and a 1 candle". Looked like 51, but hey, there's cake covered in caramel so who cares.

If you do opt for a transplant, available 6 lug 9.5" 14 bolts would be found in LD 3/4 ton trucks from 1986-1993. And HD 1500 from 1979-1995, but all will be about 3" wider track width overall.
