Yukon Gear Pinion install Kit For Dana 27 Diff

When you're getting ready to install a new ring and pinion set, especially on a vehicle with lower mileage where you can reuse the carrier bearings and races, a good pinion installation kit is essential. This kit from Yukon Gear & Axle is designed specifically for the Dana 27 differential, which you'll find in vehicles like the 1959-1973 Jeep CJ6, as well as other Jeep models and International Scouts from the same era. It’s put together to make sure you have all the critical small parts needed for a proper pinion setup.

Inside this kit, you'll find a set of Timken bearings and races, which are well-known for their durability and smooth performance. You also get a high-quality pinion seal to keep gear oil where it belongs, a new pinion nut, and a complete pinion shim kit. This shim kit is crucial for setting the correct pinion depth and backlash, which directly affects how smoothly and quietly your gears will run. Yukon also includes marking compound and a brush, which is a practical tool for checking gear pattern contact, ensuring your new gears mesh correctly.

Having all these necessary components in one package saves you time and ensures you're not missing a critical piece during your differential rebuild. It’s a well-built solution for anyone tackling a gear change on their classic Jeep or Scout.
