Excellent guys, I appreciate seeing some familiar names speaking up already
Tippy, I am scared. LOL, but I do agree with you. If a wrench can do this, then a competent person should be able to slowly perform the same tasks, when guided by the right people/docs.
John, I'll keep this in mind as I get in there. That's a great tip that will likely catch a newb off gaurd.
gled, the Bentley 'I believe' has a section for the G50. I haven't confirmed this. I have read through the G64 manual and agree it's a bit dizzying. You need to disregard the entire front of the G64 (output, center diff, clutches, etc) to get to the G50 bits.
First questions for the audience:
1) Pinion preload check is very first thing done or just done before removing diff?
2) Do you drain fluid before the pinion preload check? I guess 1st question will answer 2nd.
Family is in town starting tonight. Bear with me if there is a day between updates. This is happening though
Weee
