And can you rephrase your question? What tools? You mean send me your diff for me to cut and send bearings with? or what?
Yes, could someone send a diff and bearings and have you do it for them.

Yeah, Only problem is then when diffs go poof (like what's been going on without a bearing mod) I get blamed for it.

I'm only going to be sending out new diff housings with the bearings. Then your gears and installation, and shimming are on you. This just saves everyone alot of hassle, imo.

If that is a "make or break", you guys can PM me and we can talk. Otherwise, no.

You can start PMing me now.

ive only ran my sc10 4x4 about 4 race days now 3 races each day. and my rear diff is bone dry. can that cause it to make a grinding slipping sound and have me lose power when i get on the throttle. all the gears look ok but just to be safe im buying all new front and rear diff gears and housing.

Last time I build my front diff, I put very small bead of silicone calk around the seal top and bottom and that stopped the leaking.

Getting the diff back apart may be difficult, I haven't had to yet, but I figure a small flathead screwdriver should get the job done.

get a rebuild kit, save yourself some money. lack of fluid can cause some of that noise, but more than likely you are missing the shim. its very likely the diffs weren't tightened correctly from the factory.

Hey symmetricon. I was trolling the for sale section looking for any deals and saw your ad. Giving up on this truck?

Is this actually a 4x4 SC10? or are you still being Completely oblivious?

If it is the 4x4:
32 or 48 depending what you want to run.

I added a small amount of green slime on both sides of the seal.. should do the trick and come off with ease.
