I had a dumbass install some 4.10s several thousand miles ago and they have been whining so much on accell. that it is getting on my nerves. I still have the factory 3.42 gears and they were quiet before. What do I need to buy so I can install the factory gears back in my driveway. I know about reading the pattern/can figure it out. I need an install kit w/bearings and what kinda pinion bearing do I need so I can just slide it on?

The install kit will come with a new pinion bearing. You will want a press or a hammer/tube tool to get the bearings on the pinion & carrier.

For a slide on pinion bearing you'll need to hone one out. For set up only.
It's kind of odd to remove the bearing from the old pinion, if the original bearing is still there, than the original shim is still there, usually you can put it back in the case it came out of and it'll work.

If the rears been run hard and the case is distorted a little it might never run quiet again.

The old pinion bearing has been removed. How about just a fake bushing in place of the bearing for set up.

no fake bushing,the bearing centers/locates the pinion in the axis(in relation to the ring gear) that it should be at/in.

No, because you need to turn it and it would need to be the exact same size as the bearing. Your best bet is a press with the right bearing holder or buy two bearings and hone one out.

Use the stock size shim which should be around a .035" and your depth shouldbe pretty close. Let me know if you have any more questions.
