I am looking at rebuilding my differentials. The Haynes manual that I have does not even come close to explaining how to take on this job. Does anyone have some information or know where I can get information on how to rebuild the units. I would hate to do it wrong and waste the money on bearing and such. Any information is greatly appreciated.:confused:

At the minimum, you should have the factory manuals. The Haynes is very vague as they probably know you should be taking this to a pro with the right tools. Not that a home wrencher can't do it, but it's rare. By the time you buy all the tools and a press, paying a shop to do it right the first time is usually cheaper.

That being said, I've always wanted to try it. I have access to all the tools required, just haven't needed to do it yet. I've done a few LockRites, and I've completely disassembled a mini-truck diff, but it's still in the bucket where I tossed the parts.

Used diffs are so cheap that I would replace them instead of rebuilding them, that is, unless you run aftermarket gear ratios...4.56, 4.88's .....

If you have stock 4.11's, you can usually get them from $75-$100 each....
