Joey Mack Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago The dowels are like table legs. They are essential and must be the same length. Assuming you are having one made.

Assuming you are having one made. Are you having one made ? I gotcha. Well honestly, id really be interested in having one made. The plate itself looks pretty straight forward, but I think what is gonna get me is the absolute correct measurements. I also need to get a little more understanding how the dowels will work and the right height and specs on those but I feel like it could be done. Personally I think that plate would be easier for me to make. I have a Bridgeport mill and I think i could keep tinkering until I got it right. Definitely easier than trying to make the power divider cam holding fixture in my opinion.

Joey Mack Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Take your measurements on an assembled carrier. I'm telling you... if the bearing cage tool isn't right, you won't get the carrier to fit in the bowl..

BottleHauler84 Posted 14 hours ago Author Share Posted 14 hours ago Good idea. So just brainstorming here, but if I were to make the caging plate im guessing that it needs to fit nice a snug on the bearing caps of the carrier thats hasn't been taken apart yet? That should theoretically be the actual fitting measurements to make it work when workingon any of the carriers (92/93 and 202/203), like you suggested basically. If I make one, im making two and im sending one to you, JoJo!

Joey Mack Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Keep in mind. The bull gear in a 200 series is wider than the 92/93 series. There is a cutout in the original tool. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74226-crd9293-vs-crd202203-carriers/page/2/#findComment-584488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey, how thick of steel would you guess that tool is made out of? 1/2" or maybe 3/4"?

It would guaranty the ears would fit the housing! with out it it was a crap shoot! after setting the preload you could verify you had a fit by lightly turning the tool on the diff If it was tight you could take a brass or aluminum drift and wack the caps to get the cleacance to move the ring! Defiantly a must have! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74226-crd9293-vs-crd202203-carriers/page/2/#findComment-584499 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottleHauler84 Posted 17 minutes ago Author Share Posted 17 minutes ago @fjh does that tool fit snug around all 4 bearing caps once you put it on them or is there some clearance for it to move a little bit? The only info I have about it is just the pictures of it in the manual. Unfortunately, I've never gotten to use one to see it up close. Just curious.
