I have a few tools stashed away from when I was a machinist. .0001 Interapid dial indicators and starrett mics.

I got Starrett, Brown & Sharp, CDI, plus some others that I can't think of.

Starrett for my mics, B&S for my digital mics, Interapid dial indicators, mitutoyo for digital calipers ect. Lots of quality brands out there.

I’m one of those dudes that will attempt anything once just to say I can do that.

Maybe I will start with Jar's diff so I can get SOME experience before tackling my own!

You using new carrier bearings and axle seals? You should. Use OEM parts for this.

You can press the new bearings on the unit before installing the ring gear to it, just have a (known trusted) machine shop do it for you....unless you want to purchase a press

Also dig up all torque specs of ring gear bolts,strap bolts & cover bolts.
If I’m not mistaken ~ The ring gear bolts are left hand threads, so your torque wrench must be able to torque both ways

Also have your loctite for needed bolts & silicone for rear cover

Yep, planning on buying a press. I've wanted one for a while anyways.
There is a thread here with all the torque specs listed from the manual.

Torque wrench does indeed work either way.

Finally nice non shitty rain weather here in Toronto. Went for a ride down 427 south. Honestly people can't drive for **** these days. Everyone is reluctant to turn their heads to check for their blind spots so they use their mirrors instead ignoring the "objects in mirror are closer than they appear". It's getting out of control, they just throw cars in front of you.

And screw the cement trucks too, and the dump trucks that come off constructions sites. How hard is it to pressure wash your damn truck before you leave the site or yard so stones don't go flying into windshields. I wish I had a gun, just shoot tires and get on with it. /rant.
