Yukon Master Overhaul kit for Dana 60 and 61 front differential

Great product and parts.Except the inner axle seals are junk.After a complete rebuild of my differential I filled with oil and both axle seals immediately started leaking

this went alot smoother than i expected in my 2k grand marquis ls with a 8.8 diff. i wish they would label the bearings on the cards just to make it easier when you go to get them so you dont have to triple check yourself to be sure you have the right set. of course that could just be me, i just triple check it so i know i dont have to pull it apart again.... the shim kit was plenty for me, and i dont know if it was dumb luck or excellent oem fitment but i was able to reuse my old shims and my pattern came out perfect first go, i do wish they would offer this kit with the axle bearings and seals along with it so you can just do it all at once with one kit. but this went so much smoother than i expected, i had a bad axle bearing that ate into my axle, that caused a bad carried bearing so i just redid it all in my driveway, car rides smooth again, no noise at all. even after 16 heart attacks i was able to do this slowly and it only took me about 5 hours with hand tools thats even pressing them on with a old bearing and a small sledge.

Yukon has a deserved reputation for quality. I've used these kits for years and always been satisfied. They come with all parts needed for a typical regear or rebuild of a differential. It would be nice if they included the better carrier shims they offer, which don't require you to try and beat a stack of thin shims into the rear when setting carrier bearing preload. The good shims have two thick outer shims that interlock with the thinner shims in between them, and work really well. I always buy them for any rear where the shims are outside the bearing races. A bit more marking compound would also be helpful, especially if you don't have a pinion depth tool and have to run the setup a bunch of times to find proper pinion depth. Finally, a bit better packaging would be nice. The bearings, etc. are almost always loose in the box when I get them because they are too heavy to be held in place by plastic over cardboard alone. Nothing is ever missing or damaged, so its a pretty minor concern, but these small inconveniences and issues are why I rate this at 4 stars instead of 5. Honestly, its better than any other kit like it you're going to buy. I'll add that setup bearings can be very helpful depending on how you are setting up the gears and what tools you have. I just get an extra set of cones and grind the ID out with a carbide cutter until they slip fit. This prevents you from damaging a bearing trying to remove it if the shim under it isn't right, as most pinion bearings are basically blind pressed. If they need to be removed typically I cut off the cage and slot the inner race before splitting it with a cold chisel. Just a couple tips for anyone doing this for the first time.

I used this for a 1 ton 14bolt off of a military vehicle. Everything was packaged perfectly and installation was easy enough if you follow the included instructions. Setting the preload was a bit tricky but here’s a quick tip for the pinionWhen you use the crush sleeve, invert the pinion on a press so that you press the nose of the pinion gear into the yoke thereby increasing pinion preload. Now don’t just crank on it but add pressure and let off and check the resistance on spinning the yoke. Once you hit your mark you have set preload and torque it down.These gear are rock solid and I had no problem rebuilding my axle with no prior experienceYouTube is your friend!

Good pricing

Amazon says this works for dodge axles, but it doesn’t. I purchased this for my 1994 dodge ram and the bearings and races work fine, but the inner seals are the wrong diameter for a dodge axle. Other than that, I like Yukon products and this kit is good. Yukon also has a different part # for dodge axles that I didn’t know about until after using this kit.

For the 07 and down Ford super duty rear end rebuild kit it will fit any Ford Sterling 10.5 rear end from 99-07. You can tell they it is a 10.5 it it has NO oil fill plug on the diff cover unlike the Dana’s. Anyway this kit is very quality and comes with good timken bearings.front Pinion bearing number:HM89443Rear pinion bearing: NP504493Differential bearings(both are the same): 469-NFor those wondering the Koyo and timken bearings are the same number. In my rear diff there was koyo bearings when torn apart that appeared to still be in stellar shape so if you are looking at a cheaper kit with koyo bearings don’t shy away from it they also seem to be very good quality. Also this job is very manageable and anyone can do it.

Great setup good price extremely happy with this kit will buy again

Muy buena marca

Came with two of the wrong bearingsI got two kits and both were the same

Excelente

All quality parts. Fit and finish is top notch. Made my gear install a breeze
