I do not have any idea on the covers, if you need to remove or not. I am just saying he had the covers off both final drives when he removed them. (They were both 3.70)


We used a tranny jack(lift style) to raise and lower. I will say having cover off gave a good way to stableize and move the final drive. It was awkward coming out and was a little potential of having it slip out of our hands and drop, but worked out fine.

I took some measurments and I am going to build a final drive support for when I do mine. i envision a horseshoe cut piece of steel, with a couple pins that match up with where the case spreaders will fit. Welded at the correct angle to a flat base.
