I just finished tearing my truck completely apart to check for wear and to get it cleaned up for winter....quick question:
Is there any trick to getting the sun gear out of the diff? The one that is deep down inside the diff housing?
The one that you get easy access to came off easily once I blasted the gears with motor cleaner to get rid of most of the oil, but that's not working for the one inside the diff housing...and I can't get anything looped under the gear that would allow me to pull it out!
Help!

i think you are misinformed on the Garodisc, not only do they have more grip but they also allow more slip and are not as grabby as the stock type pads. we have also been experimentig with the B44 Garodisc on the rear and normal on the front with great results, the B4 seies have less grip. in a drag race teh garodisc will continue to slip but still out accelerate the HD pads even when they "lock up". just wanted to make sure you understand the logic behind them and how they work!
Garo Static: 0.85
Garo Kinetic: 0.70
Stock Static: 0.75
Stock Kinetic: 0.50
On that b44, did you decouple it or leave it stock?

Thanks for the quick responses! I think I'm going to try the putty first, just because I'd like to pull it straight off, rather than stress the metal by wedging it side to side with the pick. I know it's not much stress, but with the horrible wobble that mine developed, anything I can do to keep it nice and tight, I will!
Thanks everyone!

Vega, did you have to buy an entire rebuild kit to get the extra stock washers? It seems odd that you can buy crush tubes or spacers by themselves, but you can't get a set of shims without buying the parts that the shims go with.... I mean, I have a rebuild kit, but I don't want to break into it for some shims, then when I go to rebuild the full diff, the shims are all worn out too, and then I have nothing....

Anyone tried these washers/shims for the Diff outdrives (under the sungear)?
