What components are included in this Yukon Gear Minor Installation Kit?

This kit includes a pinion seal, a crush sleeve, a complete shim kit for adjustments, and marking compound with a brush. These are the essential small parts needed for a differential gear change when reusing bearings.

Can I use this kit if my differential bearings are worn out?

This kit is designed as a 'minimum' or 'minor' installation kit, meaning it's intended for situations where the original bearings are still in good condition and can be reused. If your bearings are worn, you'll need a master installation kit that includes new bearings.

What is the purpose of the crush sleeve in this kit?

The crush sleeve is used to set the correct preload on the pinion bearings. As you tighten the pinion nut, the sleeve crushes to a specific point, providing the right amount of tension on the bearings for proper function and longevity.

Product Details

When you're changing out the ring and pinion gears in your Ford 8-inch differential and the original bearings are still in good shape, this Yukon Gear Minor Installation Kit gives you all the necessary small parts to get the job done right. This kit is a cost-effective way to handle a gear change on many Ford vehicles from the 60s, 70s, and early 80s, like the Ford Mustang, Falcon, or Mercury Comet, where you can reuse the existing bearings.

Inside this kit, you'll find a new pinion seal to prevent leaks, a crush sleeve to set the correct pinion bearing preload, a complete shim kit for fine-tuning gear mesh, and marking compound with a brush to help you check the pattern of your gear contact. Yukon uses well-built components throughout to help ensure a smooth and accurate differential setup. It’s a smart way to make sure you have all the little pieces you need without having to hunt them down individually.
