need some ring pinion backlash help

f4isvt · 04-11-2010, 08:21 PM

I installed a lockright into my toyota 3rd member and have somehow managed to take a "simple" lunchnox locker and jack the backlash all up. I have no clue how to set gears up will pay if anyone knows how and has the time to do it.

I can do it, but you'd have to bring the 3rd all the way down here.
I just set one up over the winter so I'm pretty familiar with it. Did you happen to pull the pinion by chance, hopefully not because that would make it a little more difficult.

I'd only charge you like $50 bucks.

no i did not touch the pinion. I removed the ring gear and the end caps and somehow didnt get the end adjusters back right. sounds like a deal I can bring it down most any night. Its out of the truck so i can just leave the pig with you

I'm going to be out of town for the next two nights, I'll be back late Tuesday. Best if you drop it off for a couple days. Make sure you've got all the bolts and such with it. Hopefully you didn't cross thread the adjusters with the bearing cap (its easy to do).

Call my cellphone and I can give you full address, I live in Indpendence KY.
