If a person was wanting to rebuild a 1954 Chevy 1/2 ton differential and was going to reuse the ring and pinion and the differential. Would you use the same procedures for setting up the gears as you would with a new gear set? What do they use instead of red lead for marking the gears for mesh?
i would like to washout and possibly replace the bearings in the differential. Don't ask me how someone did this but they installed the rear cover on the other way around and the ring gear was rubbing on the inside of the cover. So I want to make sure there are no metal filings in the assembly.
Thanks John
