regearing vette
regearing vette i'm not too familiar with IRS. so how much more is involved in regearing an 01 vette than a semi floating straight axle? and what all do i need besides pinion bearings, pinion seal, crush sleeve, and fluid? thanks guys
You need to have the getrag specific tools, be prepared to spend 1k+ for the tools alone. If you would like to rent the tools let me know we may be able to work something out.

I agree.
You need the special tools, and the install is trickier. Best bet is to just buy a new pumpkin and be done with it. DTE will take your old core if you want to do the install yourself.
For all the labor and parts/tools involved, I just took it to ECS in NJ and it was done in a few hours for far less than I could have done it.

i work at a dealership, i've just never dealt with rebuilding an IRS rearend, so the tools aren't an issue...just curious as to how much more involved it actually was. thanks
