GM 8.5" 10 Bolt Cross Pin Problem!

[Kapdin]

I am about done replacing my rear wheel bearings and seals on my 87 V10 and went to clean up my cross pin to reinstall it when I noticed this.

What caused this? Also I'm having trouble finding a replacement one.

Doing one wheel wonder burnouts can cause that.

I C, well fug....im assuming this pin is junk right?

Yes, you need a new one..

 

[Kapdin]

Best place to get one? No rock auto or local auto parts stores source them.

Look in the yellow pages for a drivetrain or powertrain specialist. 4WD and Truck shops often have connections as well.

The spider gears are likely junk too.

And check the differential carrier - wear goes two ways, eh?

If the carrier is worn as well, now is a great time to upgrade to a limited slip

Look on eBay. Mine is junk as well as my spiders. The pin is sometimes sold as part of the spider gear set
