Phantom Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Help please......... I've got to rebuild / repair a Dana 35 axle on the rear of a Jeep ( Sorry I know it's not LR...........) The pinion bearings have loads of play, you can grab the rear prop and get about 25mm of lateral movement - and of course the associated noise's and whine's when driving. Any tips / advice / special tools req etc etc??? Thanks in advance Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull Bar Cowboy Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Are you positive its a 35 ................. easy confused with a Chrysler 8.25 ................ and they are renowned for pinion bearing failure. On our Cherokee mine uttered noises of protest at 80K ........................ A word of warning ......... buy the bearings from BSL etc .............. jeep prices are prohibitive ............. 2 carrier bearings, 2 pinion bearings, two oil seals and the crush washer ........... thats £470 sir ! Certainly the 8.25 is not difficult, but you do need to make up a special tool to adjust the carrier bearing preload.......... Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warthog Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Done a Dana 30 (Front Axle TJ) awhile back. All pretty straight forward, though a Dti torque wrench for the Crush sleeve is needed. As you need to set the Rolling torque value as required by manufacture (but not sure if the 35, uses a crush sleeve) A 3/4 Torque wrench can be handy, so you can increment your torque on the crush sleeve, untill you reach the desired rolling torque. Otherwise its a gently does it approach with 1/2" Ratchet. Hope that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
