As an aside, I got my gasket scraper from Wilde Tools on their sale page: Wilde Tool Specials and Closeouts

Thanks, I'll return it then. In case anyone ever searches for this info I changed the thread title. Thanks to all the help it wasn't really a tough job at all- just unfamiliar territory. I used the vacuum pump to pull the old gear oil out through the fill hole. I figured the pump pulled...

When I realized you weren't waiting by the forum for my questions, I went outside and figured it out. :D Question- do I want to use a limited slip additive with the 80/90 gear oil? I got some, just don't know if I want to use it. The LO doesn't mention it for the 1009, but the gov-lock is a...

The guy at napa knew what the bolt was- walked over and got it from the peg board. Everything going smoothly until.... The pinion gears are not coming out. In the video he just rolls them out- but the gov-lock doesn't look like that apparently. Can't figure out how they come out.
