[QUOTE="03SVTCOBRA10TH, post: 8103217, member: 11983"] 9 out of 10 times, you will not need the spreader tool. If you are just going to 3.73's and you have the original 3.55's from FORD in there, you can get a way with just reusing the stock pinion shim. That will save you a lot of time, as I am sure you are aware. Once you tear it down I would also replace the trac-loc clutches, FORD Racing sells a replacement carbon clutch kit for like 100 bux, you can get it a Summit Racing. I would recommend the alternate packing method, search for it. Then put it all back together and all you will need to do is check backlash and set it as close to 0.008" as posible and then pinion bearing preload to 16-18 inch/lbs and don't forget the locktite on the ring bolts and pinion nut if you reuse them.
