Product Details

This Yukon Pinion Installation Kit is built around Timken bearings and races, a solid choice for setting up gears in your GM 8.2-inch differential. If you're working on a vehicle with lower mileage where the original carrier bearings and races are still in good shape, this kit gives you all the essential new pieces to get your pinion set up correctly. It's designed for a range of classic Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models from the mid-60s to early-70s.

Inside this kit, you'll find everything needed for a proper pinion installation: the pinion bearings and races themselves, a new pinion seal to prevent leaks, a crush sleeve for setting proper pinion preload, a complete shim kit to dial in your gear pattern, and even marking compound with a brush to help you check that pattern. Yukon does their homework to ensure each kit has the right parts for the specific application, so you can be confident you're not missing anything crucial for the job.
