Rear-end shot

Let's just say this is all that's left!!

Looks like GovBomb... I Thought that piece sticking through the cover was too odd shaped to be a spider gear or chunk of the pinion.

FYI: Try to put your bearing caps back on what side they came from and in the same orientation as they were removed. If you've already forgot closely inspect them for a witness mark to get them back where they go. If it's been apart before there's a good chance someone marked the caps and housing before disassembly.


Low Summit racing estimate for new parts $850 not including a cover or labor.

The GM Govbomb lived up to it's nick name. I have removed plenty back when we had Squares in the fleet.

Beat me to it.

No I meant get new spider gears and go There was a post on here a week or 2 ago telling how to remove the retaining bolt. Once that bolt is out it is only a 45 min job to change spider gears in the rear, Front is longer job cause takes longer to get axles out.

His whole carrier is exploded! It's going to take more than spider gears to get him back on the road.

I have a 10 bolt that's open with 3.73s.
I'm in Rock Hill.
Also the junkyard here has a few just don't know the gears.

Was I the only one scratching my head at the thread title at first?

Hard to tell these days.... glad it went this way

 

[gmbellew]

just happened to me, same rear axle ratio and G80. I had it rebuilt with a truetrac instead of a other G80.
