Best way to fix front rearend gears are striped

I had the same problem in my '94. Front rearend striped, all the bearing went, I lost my pinion gear, my spider gears all wrapped around themselves and shattered.. It was a mess. (I think a leak occured, causing things to get really hot! )

I tried fixing it, but the parts for new gears and such was very expensive.
I ended up just going to a scrap yard, buying the whole housing, and dropped the old front rearend out, and slipped the new one in. It's a little painful to do, Not hard though. It took three people to do mine, being we had to balance the housing on a jack and try to replace the bolts. New housing cost about $200, as opposed to roughly $600 for new gears, plus making sure everything is spaced right!

So buy a used housing, and just replace it.

The ONLY way is to replace the carrier (gears) Are you sure it's gears and not the axle shafts? Gears are pretty "bullet proof" and usually the only way to harm them is to run low or out of gear lube.
