If your installing 4.10:1 gears in your 7.5 or 7.625 differential, you will need this PADDLE PIN KIT to complete the installation. This specially designed kit replaces the stock pin with a 2 piece pin designed for the "thicker" 4.10 gear set.

The paddle is what keeps the axles pushed out to retain the c-clips on Zexel Torsen carriers. It is equivelent to the pin on auburn carriers. The ring gear is thicker on 4.10s and the paddle will hit the gear when you go to reinstall it. You can grind the back edge of the stock paddle and it will fit fine. Some even grind the ring gear. I have personally installed 4.10s and just ground a little on the paddle to make it fit. You will see where and how much to grind when you try and reinstall it. It's not much.
