Front Regear pt2
I made my own pinion dummy bearings and carrier bearings out of my old bearings. If you don't mind paying
extra you might want to buy some new bearings for this.
I ground out the old bearings until it would slide on and off the pinion.

I tried to keep the old spacers and measured them for a starting point for the new setup. These are the carrier bearing spacers.

I used a pipe to pop out the old seals.

Make sure you install the new parts in the right order
This is also a dummy bearing race. I just ground down the outside so it would slide in and out of the diff casing.

Put in your spacers. The Dana 30 doesn't use a crush sleeve so you will need to figure out the spacer thickness needed.

Put the new pinion in with its slinger and bearing and spacers if it needs it.
