ok so i took my diff off the car, took the cover off cleaned the gears of oil and started welding them.... and it caught on fire lol apperently i didnt get all the oil out. so i went to take the gears outta the pumpkin and cant figure out how they come out. someone please help. i've taken the berings off and cant see how the axles come appart

 

ok nm i figured it out

 

make sure you know what your doing with the welds, dont want it to break on you down the road.

 

yeah i made 8 tacks on the gears together and when it gets warm out ima finish welding em

 

yeah if they break on you it will lock your rear end up sending you spinning out of control.

 

that oil is nasty

 

make sure you know how to put it back in, you know you cant just stick it in right?

 

yeah i have a good idea. cept what do i torque the bearing caps down to?

 

65-72 lbs.

totally not true bro at anything over 25-35 mph it will simply shatter from the force and you will free spin. i have seen it happen. luckily my first one locked up at about 10 mph on the way to work one morning. this was becuase i did it with a f-ing 120 V flux welder and they welds didn't penetrate deep enough
