Ok, I need some help/suggestions with this
Im installing a lock rite on my D60, easy enough
Pop the cover and everything looks good (except my muddy gear oil)
so I start with the roll pin, and cant get it out...
Try it some more...
and still cant get it
Well 2 days later im stumped!
The damned roll pin will not come out
Ive taken a carrier apart a few times, but always on a cheby
I opened up a spare GM D44 I had and made sure I wasnt going crazy. Sure enough I taped out the roll pin with no problems

Heres what I am working with

Drivers side of the pin

Pass side


I am trying to avoid pulling the carrier, but if push comes to shove, I might just pull it

Anything im missing here?

and its on my 03 F250 V10 D60 with 3.73s

 

I have always pulled those while on the bench. The 60 carrier is easy to remove, just make sure you keep the caps in order, and oriented in the right direction.
Re-torque them properly after the re-installation. Maks sure that you do not drop the races when you remove the carrier, and you should be just fine. You will not disturb any lash by doing this. I say this, as long as the bearing and shims are not removed. This is probably the easiest to do, and you will be victorious over that little roll pin.

 

LOL, thanks
Im gonna give it one more try tonight, and if that doesnt work, than im pulling it for sure

oh, and which way does it come out?
Does it matter?

 

I do not believe it does, as the hole is not tapperd, but I have always tapped them out from the ring gear side.
From left to right as viewd from the back of inspection cover, but again, it does not matter.
For some odd reason, I always replace the little roll pin also, not out of necessity, it is just a practice of mine.

 

They do only come out one way. If you have been beating on it you can probably forget ever getting it back out. I know thats not what you wanted to hear.

 

thats fine, at least I know...
which way do they go?
in the picture above, is it from left to right?

 

thanks for the motivation!
got it out last night


it goes from left to right in the picture

 

good to hear it! now get that locker in there go wheelin take some pics and come back...

Also if you take some more pics of the whole process...
Do a tech write up.

 

Great to hear. I've tryed to get some out in the past but never had any luck once they were driven in.
