Part numbers for pinion bearings, races, crush sleeve, oil seal... or as a kit

[ratty]

ah thanks.... but it took me another hour and then some to finally get at it.... It turned out to be just a typical plastic snap-in connector for both wires, but because the main connector that connects to the outside of the housing, is so deep into a cavity of the housing, you can't see it much less get to it. After some very creative use of the macro function on my cellphone's camera, barely squeezing in next to the ring gear to take a peak in it, I realized how it was connected but still couldn't get at it. I loosened up the outer connector enough that I could spin it, exposing the locking clip as it was facing the other way hidden from view. I tried a bunch of various picks and even dentist tools that I picked up awhile back (they come in real handy sometimes), and I still couldn't get at it to release the connector on the inside. Eventually after ******** with it so much, and copious amount of WD-40, I managed to finally break loose the outer connector. But then I ran into another problem, the wires to the E-locker are so short, that i could barely pull the outer connector out far enough to access the inner connector... But after many expletives, I finally got it apart. Holy crap that was a major pain in the ass. Yeah, sure, let's put that connector so buried inside the rear end housing that no one could ever get at it... I hate engineers, I really, really hate engineers.

Well, fought a bit getting the diff out, she was tight, but after a few creative uses of a big pry bar, I finally got it loose, just in time as it's snowing harder and getting dark. I wanted to get the pinion out but I was just too cold and beat, gonna try to get at that tomorrow morning if the temps aren't too low, expecting some low single digits and below zero action coming, which is why I was trying to get this out so i can work on it in the warmth of my basement shop. Phew!

Thanks for the help....
