14 Bolt Axle Regear And Locker Install - JK 1 Ton Swap Video Series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 бер 2019
- In this video i show you step by step how to regear your 99-06 14 Bolt Rear Axle. This axle is also referred to as a GM 10.5
I am installing a set of 5.38 Yukon Gear and axle gears, thick cut. Im using the Grizzly locker, which is a auto locker that reuses the factory carrier. In order to reuse the factory carrier with an auto locker, you have to have an open carrier (limited slip carriers will not work).
Installing the new bearings and ring gear is pretty straight forward, however make sure you do it correctly!
After watching this video, if you think this is a job you want to tackle, i highly recommend reading the link at the bottom of this video description. This is not a hard job, but it needs to be done right, please take your time and make sure everything you do is within spec.
Like always, i am open for questions so feel free to leave them in the comments section. Do not private message me with questions on FB or Instagram, i would like to answer all questions here so they are public and can help others who might have a similar question.
Part List: This is a recommended list, feel free to change it up as needed. Links are directly to amazon so you can either purchase from them or just use the part numbers to order from a vendor of your choice. I highly reccomend Amazon, Barnes4wd, or Offroad Elements.

Additional info is in the video description! Feel free to ask questions below and I will answer them! Sorry it’s a long video, but I wanted this to be step by step. This isn’t supposed to be a fun or entertaining video, it was made to educate people doing this swap and hopefully help others that plan on doing this at home.
another good trick for installing a ring gear is to take 2 bolts and cut the heads offs and screw them in, they act as alignment pins.
I have my own shop and always have been intimidated by getting into this type of job. I’m not scared anymore and have 1 at the shop right now that I’m excited about. How to I give you money? You deserve a cut.
If I’m using the same exact gear carrier and ratio out of another identical rear end do I need to set backlash from scratch or can I use the rotations of the adjuster sleeves I did to take the old gear carrier out to get the right backlash?
Thanks for this man, you’ve probably helped build more 14FF’s than you know!
Well, I watched a bunch of videos but I still was confused about the set up.. Thank you for your time to make this video, as it covered everything that I needed to know.. Thank you very much, Well done.. I have been a mechanic for 30 plus years but I had never set up a rear-end... I usually fix snowmobiles or bikes, small engines, heavy equipment and fix my own vehicles, and boats, but this was exactly what I needed...
I prayed for the knowledge that I needed, then turned on UA-cam and you were there, and I didn't have to look anywhere else...
JESUS SAVES
Thank you

Dude...step-by-step was great. not bored. very captivating.
Thank you, I know this video won’t appeal to everyone. However those that want to learn, and those who are planning to do this will benefit from this video.
It's exceptionally rare that I comment on UA-cam videos, but I wanted to say thank you for posting this video and for the obviously voluminous amount of effort you put into making this. I've watched this a multitude of times recently while attempting my first 14-bolt rebuild, referring back to this video again and again during the process. Thanks in large part to your video, the "14-Bolt Bible", the Yukon Gear setup instructions, and a few other resources, my own build turned out flawlessly.
Thank you again for your efforts and for sharing them here. 👍
Best video on this 14 bolt 10.5 gear axle ever. Thanks
This is a super useful video i have never seen a true step by step of a regear can't wait to finish it!
Setting up to do this right now. Just finished cleaning my 14 bolt. Thanks for the super detailed videos!
I've been setting up gears for 20+ years, but never messed with a 14 bolt. Your video was just the right level of detail. Great job!
Nicely done! I found this vid at the perfect time as I'm rebuilding the 14 bolt in my 2006 Silverado K2500HD. It'll be my first rear end rebuild. Super informative, and I don't think you talked too much at all. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I'm thankful for this video. About to tackle this whole project for my ZJ. Will be subscribing and rewatching different videos cause this is exactly what I'm planning for my rig. Thanks!
Thanks for the effort of this video! Just re-geared my 88 blazer with the 14 bolt rear to a 4.56 to match the d60 front. Your video was my main info source and made for a great reference!
I'll certainly be able to have one hell of a conversation with my Mechanic now. That's for the video Ben. Time does fly when you're having fun.
I want to say. Ben I appreciate this whole swap series......this i will end up watching Multiple times....I may never do the 14 bolt....but there's a lot I can use for a D44
An absolute gem for a setup video, very well done! Thanks for taking the time and putting forth the effort. Well done !!
I built a 14 bolt axle build for my 90 yj from the info I got from watching your video. Thankyou for the lengthy video. It definitely made it less daunting. Thanks again.
Great instruction on the tricks/details of using the press. New harbor freight press owner here and helps to see the various ways to manipulate the work. Also the info on the crush sleeve eliminator is priceless and youre right, I havent found this info presented very well anywhere. Bravo, sir.
Hey man, thanks a lot this video is helping me a lot as was some of your other videos I just cut down a couple 14 volts and hammered on the inner cities and built the trusses and did all my four link and now it's about time to do a ring and pinion so I really appreciate the video
I'm ready to tackle my 14 bolt rebuild now,Thanks Ben!
Soooo nice to be able to set the pinion preload separate from the axle. I’ve seen a few videos with different axles that didn’t allow for that.
Thanks again. This will for sure give the the push I needed to take on my tons into my JK.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Throw it on 2x speed and I'm feeling really confident I can rebuild my 14 bolt solo now
Great walkthrough Ben. Looking forward to seeing these sucker mounted under the jeep.
It was a great video Ben. I wish I had the shop and free time to do a 1ton regear. ECGS quoted re-gearing my D44with an E-locker at $2500 with chromoly shafts. Purchasing their ECGS D60 with an e-locker, chromoly shafts installed on the Jeep was $3200. Seemed like a no brainer to me. Maybe one day when I swap out the Ultimate44 I got from your raffle and do the 1ton up front I’ll restart this video and grown some balls to do it myself 😂😂
“Luckily it’s not too hard” my man you got knowledge when it comes to doing this lol, and most importantly time. Great video very professional and informative. It may not be too hard like you say but it’s intimidating to do this and mess something up and end up costing you double to fix it
Great video wish more people would do this and not skip steps 👍.... good to keep the old bearings and cut the cages of so you can use the insides on the press to install others
Awesome video! These are definitely helping me get ready for swapping axles under a jk frame and put a jeepster commando body on top! Also you got the same Peterson’s 4wheel offroad clock! Awesome thing they gave with the subscription
I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to do shop work like this for my Jeep but I appreciate you making such an in depth and informative video. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos, so thanks for making them! You and BigTireGarage make me want to pick up welding as a hobby.
If I can do it, you can to
Regearing is the most intimidating aspect of an axle swap. Shims, back-spacing, etc. AArrgghhh!!!
Please do a video regearing the pink Jeep (in the background). Great video by the way.
THANK YOU! much appreciated! awesome, in-depth video. can't wait for the D60 vid! hopefully its JUST AS LONG AND INFORMATIVE!!!
finally, someone who shows us how to use a dial indicator. I feel ready to do a regear
Great video man! I’ve finally watched the whole video. Lots of great knowledge. I’ve never setup gears but I think I will have to give it a try when I do my one ton swap
Great vid once again!!! , and i would have to say it’s all pretty much the same for any axle not just 60s so in my opinion it benefits anyone looking to regear any axles .
Man that was a long video, I can’t believe I sat through all that..... BUT I DID and I’m glad, super informative, just enough time spent on the details, not too much, not too little, perfect amount!! AWESOME video nice work amigo!
I agree with the other guy. The step by step was exactly what I needed to know. No better video out there. .great to know the tools to make the doing easy . Thanks
This is a very informative video and I appreciate how you put every detail into it keep up the good work and and it's good that you have a good Jeep channel on UA-cam
Awesome comprehensive video, good to see it all in the same vid
Dude, thanks so much for doing this. Best video series online for axle swaps. Cheers.
This video is the greatest. Researched some many times. First time and I hope only time. On my 97 chevy 6.5diesel thanks for the knowledge
Had the same issue with the seal! Dont feel bad this is a great note if you are upgrading your 14 bolt to the bigger yoke. Well done.
Fantastic Video, I'm preparing to do my 14B swap now. Thanks for the info. Also the reason the pinion gets fried if the pinion carrier is misaligned is because the lube oil holes must be aligned. The pinion carrier can go on any way (which means it can go on incorrectly where it blocks the oil).
Funny bc I did mine a few months ago. I just sort of winged it. I wish this video was out when I did mine. I couldn't find any informational videos about this. Im also glad I realized the seals we're different before the axle was installed. I pulled the old wear sleeve thing off the old yoke.. got the part number and ordered a new one. I like the 2 piece seal set up better
Great video Ben. Been watching all the old stuff to refresh the noggin. Sure wish we had some new stuff to watch. Lol
Excellent, thank you JK Gear and Gadgets 👍🏻
Spectacular video thank you so much for the detailed video, you're the hero we needed not the one we deserve
Great video Ben,thanks for taking the time.
Nicely done! VERY helpful! I need to do a rebuild on my GM 14 bolt! Bearings are wearing out!
Man, you killed this instructional. By the way, just as a tid bit that I also found interesting is towards the end you talk about not having the right seal with the yoke.
You acutally had a the right seal and yoke for the 14 bolt, its actually a generational item!
AAM axles started using two piece seal, the original Corporate 14 bolt only used a single seal and the dust shield was integrated differently.
Glad you found the two piece seal before you threw it back on the road.
I used this video to see how you set the pinion depth (thats where I am at right now) just finished setting up the pinion pre-load with a crush sleeve eliminator - I really suggest it for future videos it was much easier to tear down, re-shim and setup.
March 2023, awesome ,very informative video...much appreciated brother 👊👊 THANKS
Awesome video! You answered every question I ever had about the aam 14,axle adj. Just like my samurai,preload I meant. Doing my 14 b soon but for my Americanized truck framed chop n channeled vw beetle!
That’s gonna be sick!!
Awesome video and makes me want to swap a 14 bolt in my TJ just because of how much easier it is to regear
Motive gear Master install kit comes with ring gear bolts, that what brand ring n pinion I went with and install kit and the yukon grizzly locker. Good video I'll be doing a 14 bolt next.
Thanks, i already have the calipers and press. I bought a yoke already, did come with the seal, I think same one you bought. Good to know on the seal issue. Im torn to do mine as I want to wash the tubes out and I have a gm 10 bolt front and I want to change the gearing anyways so id have to do both but this helps on the 14bolt. I may just put a locker in the 14 bolt now with air locker and just change the gearing on the 10 as I have a dana 60 that I want to put in but more money and for now I want the axles under it now.
I just picked me up a dana 60 clean ready to weld axle tube and 14 bolt axle that i will have to clean up get all brackets off. They both came with gears and axle shafts i dont know gear ratio but i got it all for 400 bucks im excited!!!
Great video! The whole process has been spot on man!
Very entertaining and informative video. The step by step is very cool to watch. Some day I’ll be that ambitious. Maybe my next Jeep :)
I actually loved all the detail and greatly appreciate it!
This will come in very handy for my build. Thank you. Great video
Awesome walk through! You might try using a cordless drill (slow setting) for turning the pinion, with a wood block wedged between the ring gear and housing (to create drag.) Just another of many ways to create drag on your gears while marking the pattern.
First time viewer, awesome vid man! I've done yota diifs before and was thinking about putting a grizzly in my full size and this video gave me all the info I needed!
Don't forget to recheck backlash after you change pinion depth.
Great video.
The Best video on the GM 10.5 !!! Thank you very much!!!
Been looking for a video just like this for a long time, thanks so much for your time and effort!! Great work!!
Thank you!
Great video, I wish my spider gears came out as easy as yours did, I had to use a brass punch just to get the carrier apart. I wish there was a video out there like this for a Dana 44, hint, hint.
Thank you very much this is the only video I see that fully explains how to do this. I have the same rear end in a silverado 2500hd
Glad it helped
@@JKGearandGadgets I just finished mines today. The pinion was not bad. But the other bearing didn't want to come off. I didn't get the bearing remover. I cut a notch in those races and broke them off instead.
To bad about the glare (55:35-43). Thank you for redoing/re-showing the backlash part.
Haha... Any job big or small, Do it right or not at all… thank you. You gave me confidence to maybe give it a shot
Great video. I will surely have this playing when I do my 14 bolt lol
Right on point good to demonstrate the whole process for us
Fantastic video series! Likes all around! If it weren't for your hard work I wouldn't be attempting (now) this exact swap! This video gives confidence that us mortals can set backlash and preload too! Any input on why the Grizzly vs say Aussie or Torq Master auto locker?
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!!!!!
Knocked it out of park! Thanks for sharing.
Great job.. very good narrative and helpful.. thank you..
Wait....... this isn't lite brite's channel. Where are the yoga pants? Great informative video bud👍
😂
😂
😂 don’t forget the camel toe 😂😂😂
Lol....guess I'm not the only one that brings that up.
Great video, and no it was not too long. All of that information is very important to setting up those axles!!
Super helpful video. I may try this myself.
Great video man I can't wait to do this to jeep someday .
Yeah I got a hd king pin d 60 and a Dana 70 rear, lockers for them after the 14 b.ill be waiting for my bell.danas are tough but so hard to set up.sure wish they were 3rd membered!
Hour 20, 5 beers down thanks for that, dope vid
Awesome video… appreciate the knowledge you sharing with us
Nice job Ben.I am gonna tackle this job myself this summer.My axles are just an 8.8 Ford and a Dana 30 hp.You did a great job of explaining every step you were doing.Thanks...
Great informative video, thanks for recording it all
Thank you for this video, very informative. You did a great job.
Great video with a ton of knowledge passed along.
Just want to say thank you for all the info!
Great Job. A benefit of the crush sleeve is you can re-adjust your pinion preload (by tightening the nut) back to spec after your pinion bearings wear with time. Whereas with the Crush Sleeve Eliminator you will have to disassemble and reduce shim thickness. Also, you failed to mention the backlash changes after you change pinion shims and may need readjustment, but I think your final recap made it clear it needs to be double-checked in the end. Thanks for taking the huge amount of time to make this how-to video. Have you had a chance to run the set-up yet?
Nice. I learned something new today. Thanks.
It's actually after 10 o'clock p.m. Eastern time I watch the whole thing You are some of the greatest You conveyed it very well I'm 64 years old and I can tell you impressed me extremely well thank you And doing this video You made a mistake on that seal but that's no big deal because you checked rechecked and checked a 3rd time and you caught it.the greatest of the greatest.do the same thing you did However I liked your video very well and the best ones I've seen on all the above You conveyed it very well Yeah you miss pronounced a few stuff but that's OK you corrected it the end results remember what I'm gonna say It's a 100% correct or it's wrong there's no in between My friend I rate you at a 110% I wanna tell you something off the wall When a mechanic tells you he needs to break in the engine That is the wrong mechanic When you build an engine correct you're only setting the piston rings A lot of mechanics say I got a break in the cam or bearings. Bullshit. I have a great laugh brother bye
FANTASTIC video! Thank you!
You give great knowledge brother... good job...
This is excellent !! Great job !
It's me when you move the dial indicator rear and lower damn I was hoping I was going to be able to see the end of the pinion if it would come all the way past the backside of the ring gear I want this to work for me or I'll have the input shaft at the front an output shaft at the rear then I'll have a drive shaft to go back to that second rear end without fabricating a whole lot of stuff you are definitely a Craftsman Great American a great speaker great mechanic and the finest man that ever walked United States I don't know you you don't know me damn I wish I could have known you my years getting many
I just did to 14 bolt steering axles for my buggy and when I got to put the ring gear in the front with the school it was really tight it barely squeezed past the pinion bearing casting.
And then when I did the rear end and I was putting in my 538 Yukon gears like I have in the front with the spool same spool as I have in the front for no amount of work could I get the ring gear past that pinion support housing so the quickest work around was to carefully shave the sport housing down just a little bit probably just under an eighth of an inch there's still plenty of meat and I don't think I weakened it too much after I made the decision to do that I read on pirate that I wasn't the only one and it's quite common.
If you don't want to go to that you could always I would suppose playing down the inside of the ring gear Fort Wayne down the adjuster a little bit but that would take some doing because if you claim down the threaded side of the adjuster you're losing thread if you plane down the contact side of the adjuster you may have to devil it back out again so it clears the cage of the bearing. It didn't seem feasible for me to add more thread to the inside towards the axle tube or to grind down up inside there so it would thread Beyond where it stopped.
Timken been around awhile... great choice...
Sooooooo appreciate that you are shearing this Man！
Whoever engineered this rear end to have an external shim to adjust the pinion depth deserves a generous “Atta Boy” lol
Great step by step video, very informative....
Brilliant information 😊great help
Yukon install kit and USA standard use the exact same parts, except Yukon might include an extra crush sleeve where applicable.
Thank you, step by step was perfect
Hey thanks for the video, really helpful. One question, the last diff I did I checked the carrier preload. I don't remember you talking about having a value, a number for that. I'd need to dig up my notes, so this is from memory, which isn't that great. After you get the pinion and carrier installed, before the pattern, check the total preload at the pinion nut. Subtract the pinion preload from the result then divide (or was it multiply) the remainder by the gear ratio. That number should give you the carrier bearing preload. I could be full of it. Hey great video.
What locker is in that pink jeep there in garage. Excellent video ben. Thanks
