29 spline front help

[KC Jones]

I have tried searching but could not find a definitive answer. im re gearing my front differential and picked up a 29 spline ring and pinion. I got a trail gear flange, nut, seal and oil slinger from cruiser teq. The master install kit I got is 35-2061 from revolution gear. here is the link Toyota 8 Inch Front Axle Land Cruiser 1990-97 Open Carrier Ring and Pinion Master Install Kit Revolution Gear - https://revolutiongear.com/revolution-gear-toyota-8-reverse-rotation-master-install-kit/

This is my first time doing a ring and pinion and want to make sure I dont muff anything up. Do i need a special pinion bearing than the one in my kit?

Thanks in advance fellas.

I know Revolution sells a 29 spline kit. Not sure exactly which parts are different, but I think you might have it covered - sorry, going from foggy memory.

Also, your rig doesn't have factory locking diffs does it? I believe that's a different kit.

ZUK shares many close-up good pics of Toyota gear installs

Take a look at the pics. Zuk is incredibly well respected with gear setups and especially Toyotas. You may wish to order up the OEM bearings before tearing into your diff.

One more thought... You're not changing gearing, just putting in 29spl?
