a GIANT thanks to spencurai on this board..he and my wife did the install on the new calmini 6.5:1 gears into my t-case...after endless problems and 5 hours of labor he got those gears in and working..the gears are fawking amazing. He told us he would do it for us just to "say he did" and maybe we could buy him dinner or something..this guy is awsome, he has tons of used samurai parts and always backs his stuff up. I will always check with him first for the quality used part before going anywhere else or buying new........

THANKS SPENCE!!!!!!!!

Cool:cool: Spencurai why so long to put in the gears????is there alot of grinding involved???? going to be ordering a set soon.....

my first time doing a complete tear down and putting in the 6.5:1s left us bobbling a few things. we pressed on the c-clipped bearing on with the thrust washer on in the wrong order...had to pull it and get things in order.....then we buggered up some threads on some t-case half bolts....had to clean em up without a tap and die set......ya know...the usual.....and the best part....NO GRINDING!!! we were VERY happy about that one. We didn't want to going into this thing and got lucky!!!

I redid my 4.16 t-case last week...then this one this week.....I am so sick and damned tired of t-cases.......I am going nutty!!!:D

I had the same problem, wrong order putting things back together took about the sametime as spenc it was my first gear install. The gears are awsome but it made my axles go :nuke:

It sounds like Spencurai works like I do.
I tell everyone
“I work for beer or sex, - bring beer cause your ugly”

Parts and labor are usually calculated on an equivalent beer scale. One day’s labor = one twelve of beer per person.
I traded a case for a set of heavy duty CJ springs recently. Did a spool and R&P install on a D-44 for beer (bastid still owes me on that one). Offered to trade a 31-spline, 9-inch center chunk newly rebuilt for a 12 pack (had 2.70 gears).
