is there a place online or a book or something that tells step by step instructions for gear swaps, i have 14 boltff and a 10 bolt up front i want to put gears in, i like doing the work myslef and from what i have found about other places working on my truck, i dont want to take it anywhere(left steering gear box bolts loose!!!! /forums/images/icons/mad.gif ). i am not in a hurry to swap out gears so i will be able to take my time and check everything over. thanks for your help. chris
 
It could be difficult to do gears yourself if you never have. there are some speciial tools required to do them, and they can sometimes be a pain to get clearances sorrect. these are critical for prolonged gear life. it might cost as much to buy the tools to do it right as to have somebody do them for you. and if you do it wrong, well the gears aren't cheap to start with!!
 
I spent all morning with a friend who swaps em for a living, my advice is to find someone who really knows what they are doing and do it with them...its extreamly tidious.
