My koyo bearing came in today. To get the one set of bearings pressed off the old gear and get all of them pressed on the new gears

Soo I found a little trick on putting bearings in without using a press. I was a bit skeptical but tried it anyways and it actually worked well.

Going to try this with the other bearings then got to plan a day to swap these things out
 
Update time:

got a chance this morning to sway my transfer gears. It went surprisingly well for someone that doesn’t know trans work at all LOL. Took about three hours give or take.
Had to go getfluid after I took an atf bath pulling the bottom cover off 🙄. Went for a test drive and all I can say is I’m in love with the whine straight cut gears make LOL

Here’s a little video I took. That whine tho 🤤

 
What brand/model of tires were you running? 11 years is A LONG time for a set.

They were nitto nt555r drag radials. They were always well taken care of. That’s the only reason I think they lasted. I was planning on changing tires out over winter but after seeing that in the sidewall that plan got moved forward to now LOL
 
Looks like 26x9.5x16's (I had to zoom in)
 
Finally got around to throwing these tires on the car. Need to go for a drive and try them out now
