Rocky Mountain Race Week Preparation: 10 Bolt Posi Install + EBC Brakes Upgrade! (Uncle Rob Yukon)

What happens here

The presenter uses a torque wrench to tighten the differential carrier bolts to 60 foot-pounds. He then explains the purpose of checking the gear 'sweep pattern' to ensure proper tooth contact between the ring and pinion gears. He also shows the gear marking compound kit included with the differential, which contains a paint brush, blue threadlocker, and yellow gear marking compound.

Goal: Secure the differential carrier and prepare to check the gear contact pattern.

Tools and materials

  • Gear Marking Compound Kit — Applying marking compound to gear teeth to check contact pattern
  • Paint Brush — Applying gear marking compound
  • Threadlocker — Securing threads of bolts (implied by kit contents)
  • Torque Wrench — Tightening carrier bolts to specification
