[QUOTE="Fefanatic, post: 90808, member: 12973"] Yep, I asked that question in another post in this thread but didn't get a response. I.m already there with the tear down so it's a little late to split the unit in half. I'm now waiting on chain and concentrating on making tools to reinstall the axles. I decided to install all axles and gears and then put the chains on. I plan to make a bar that will bolt to the lugs on the axles and wend a big nut in the center. That way I can use a wrench to hold the nut on the inside ends of the axles and use a torque wrench to tighten the bolts from the outside. The wrench will wedge against the floor of the chain case and the axle will be turned with a torque wrench to torque it down. Shouldn't be a problem without the chains installed. I still have to make a tool to press the new seal repair sleeves in place and plan to drill a hole in a block of wood to use as a press. I've done that with front balancer sleeves on car engines and I think that should work here also. I already have a 3" piece of flat iron that I plan to drill and tap for installing the inner bearing races. A little allthread and another flat piece on the outer axle tube should do the trick. Will post if it works. [/QUOTE]
