On to the gearbox / pinion gear install.
Since the 3.0 uses center dog bones the gearbox gets an outdrive instead of the standard cvd driveshaft. This builds just like the old stuff. Install the bearings indo the gearbox and insert the pinion gear. Hold the pinion gear in with presure as you add the out drive. Don't forget to prep the set screw just like we did in the previous steps(with the motorspray / rag and red loctite)
Next insert the completed front diff into the gearbox. I add three small dabs of black greese to the ring gear.
Notice the buttonhead 540 screw on the bottom of the gearbox. The kit comes with caphead 540 screws but I prefer to switch these out with the buttonhead so the same size wrench is used for all of the screws.
