Here we go guys, restack your DANA 80 and get rid of that stupid 1 wheel peel.
Remove the spare.
Remove the 8 (14mm) outer axle bolts
Pull the axle about 1/2 way out.
Remove the 10 (14mm) cover bolts
Drain the fluid
Remove the bearing cap bolts
Remove the carrier.
Keep track of the bearing cups and shims, keep them on the same sides they came from.
Remove the 8 (14mm) carrier bolts
Seperate the unit, Dont lose anything, keep track of how it comes out.
This is what they look like factory.
This is how you stack them the right way.
Restack both sides, put the carrier back together, put the unit back in the housing, torque the bearing caps, double check to make sure you put the shims back in, clean the cover gasket area, put a small bead of black RTV on the housing, replace the cover.
Cover the outer axle gasket with black RTV on both sides of the gasket, replace the bolts, torque them down.
Dont forget to fill the rear-end back up with the recommend fluid, and friction modifier, and your done.
I hope this helps with any first timers with doubts, and for the rest of you guys, dont critize too much, I put alot of effort into this project just to post it up on here. Thanks guys.
