Swapping 4.10 for 4.88
« on: July 24, 2007, 10:56:28 AM »
I just purchased a new set of gears for my 2000 wrangler.  It currently has the stock 4.10 gears and I am upgrading to 4.88.  The set I bougth comes with the install kit but I was wondering if this is actually something I can do myself or do I need to take this to a mechanic?

Thanks in advance.

If you take your time and have a arbor press as well as an inch-lbs torque wrench and maybe a dial indicator, you can do it yourself.  It's really daunting the first time though.  Once the stock gears are out there is no going back.  Still, I think if you have some basic mechanic skills you should be able to do gears.

One big enough to put a carrier in and press and pull bearings.  It doesn't have to be big for gears.  Bench top press would probably work fine.
