Shop near D.C. to install Ring and Pinion in Diff?
I'm playing hookie from work today and debating dropping the diff out to install the 3.63s. Is there a shop around here that can set the pinion depth and backlash? That's the only part that is out of my comfort zone.
Thanks,
Pat

I'm about to try the same. Was it really that difficult?
It looks like measuring the pinion depth is the most involved part. Backlash shouldn't be a problem. Distance between the bearing carriers is easy...
I posted this just before 11, went outside and had the car in the air 20 minutes later. By 1 the Diff was in my lap. That beats the hell out of anything VW related

I used a new distance piece. you'll also NEVER get the pinion bearing off. debatable if you can get the diff bearings off. get new seals. that's all you need.
dont forget the RTV seal. I did the first time. oopsie.
Backlash is beyond easy. you can get a dial indicator from mcmaster for super cheap.

The two manuals cover every 500 up until the recent facelift. I wouldn't be suprised if they still apply. Kaw loved to slap that motor into everyhting they made with two wheels.
