What is the main difference between this kit and a master overhaul kit?

This kit focuses on the essential bearings, seals, and setup tools needed for a differential rebuild. A master overhaul kit typically includes additional items like shims, ring gear bolts, and thread locker, which this kit assumes you already have or will source separately.

What specific vehicles does this kit fit?

This kit is made for the GM 8.2-inch rear axle used in many Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models from approximately 1964 through 1972. Examples include the Pontiac GTO, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Buick Skylark.

Are shims included in this kit?

No, shims are not included in this bearing installation kit. It is intended for builders who already possess shims or plan to purchase them separately.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the differential in your classic Buick, Oldsmobile, or Pontiac, getting the right bearings and seals is crucial for a smooth, quiet ride. This Yukon Gear & Axle bearing installation kit is designed specifically for the GM 8.2-inch rear end found in many of these vehicles, providing the essential components to properly set up your ring and pinion gears. It’s a smart choice if you already have your own shims, allowing you to save some cost compared to a full master overhaul kit.

Inside this kit, you'll find Timken bearings and races, known for their solid construction and reliability. You also get a new pinion seal to prevent leaks, a crush sleeve for setting proper pinion depth, and marking compound with a brush to help you accurately pattern your gear mesh. Yukon does the legwork to ensure all the small parts are correct for the GM 8.2-inch BOP (Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac) application, so you can focus on the installation itself.

This kit is a well-built option for anyone tackling a differential rebuild on a wide range of GM vehicles from the mid-60s to early-70s, including popular models like the Pontiac GTO, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Buick Skylark. Having all the necessary bearings, seals, and setup tools in one package simplifies the process and helps ensure a professional result.
