I'm picking up some tools for swapping out gears in an 8.8 axle. I already have an inch/lb torque wrench and a magnetic base micrometer for checking backlash. I was thinking of getting a jegs ring and pinion setup kit and maybe the harbor freight 20 ton press. Have any of you used this press for installing the bearings? Is it big enough for the carrier? I'll be getting a bearing separator too but haven't picked one out yet. I'll probably be doing some other gear swaps as well over time so I don't mind buying more tools. I've got a Dana 30 and AMC 20 I want to swap gears in as well.
