coyote kid Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 well i toasted my spider gears today broke two teeth off and totaly locked up the back end. now i got to pull em out but i am having trouble pulling the axle shafts out. brake drums are on pretty good. to get the spider gears out there is a small hole is there like a pin or allen screw i have to drive out ?
skidoo_j Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 correct. there is a small pin that holds the cross shaft in place. use a drift to get it out. It's advised to use a new pin when reassemble.
coyote kid Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 sorry but whats a drift? is it like a punch? and would the spider gears out of my 86 cherokee with a 2.8 5 speed be a sutable replacment?
Biotex Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Correct, a drift is a punch. Could you enlighten me as to what caused those teeth to break off? My axle is noisy, and I suspect some damage inside, but I'm not ready to tear into it yet. I want to keep driving, but certainly don't want to lock up the axle.
coyote kid Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 it was making some noise and i was excellerating out of a stop and bam/crunch and it locked up
Biotex Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 it was making some noise and i was excellerating out of a stop and bam/crunch and it locked up Dang it! I was hoping that wasn't the case. Now i'm going to worry about mine because it is also making a noise. In 10 minutes I'm going 200 miles with her, and desolate desert area. The things I do to play golf...
Geonovast Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Are you talking about you 88? Do they both have a D35? If so, then yes, the spiders out of your 86 will go right in.
Bmoore2 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I am with you on the golf..... My # 1 past time. Play at least once a week. Desert course sounds fun. Sorry to be off topic fellas... :cheers: Dang it! I was hoping that wasn't the case. Now i'm going to worry about mine because it is also making a noise. In 10 minutes I'm going 200 miles with her, and desolate desert area.

Biotex Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Well I made it back from Golf, and no issues with the rear end. I drove 85 most of the way down there. Sure glad things didn't lock up...
coyote kid Posted May 29, 2013 Author Posted May 29, 2013 that would have sucked at 85 ! lol well i finished pulling all the spider gears turns out i broke 5 teeth clean off and messed up the pinion. almost finished installing the whole rear end out of my 86 cherokee. should be back on the road tomorrow !!!! . :MJ 1: .
64 Cheyenne Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Rewelded spring perches? Changed ring and pinion? To get different diff installed?
