Rear end Rebuild Docs Needed
I've done a few rear ends in the past, GM 7.5" bolt, GM 12 bolt and a Ford 9", but never a GM 8.5/8.6" 10 bolt.
I'm looking for some decent exploded views of the 8.6" that comes on our trucks. Also some torque specs. would help too. I've found a few websites that have it, but I don't really trust them.
As far as the shims go: Where are the pinion shims on the 8.6" rear end? Between the pinion gear and bearing, behind the race etc? What about the carrier shims? I'm just trying to see how much shop press time I'll need.
