do you have the tools and know how?

dial indicator, micrometer, foot pound torque wrench dial type, big ass breaker bar to crush the crush collar
bearings and races and possibly mockup bearings, what about a pinion? gear marking compound, its a pretty intensive job

good luck

ha, yeah, the pinion gear will help.

all the tools and gear marking compound.

A press helps a lot, along with a set mockup carrier bearings. Put them on a lathe and use some emery cloth to "hone" the inner diameter of the bearing so it is easier to take them on and off when adding/subtracting shims.

Axle bearing/seal's would be a good thing. other then that it's good to go.
