Are "Strange" gears, still U.S. gears ?

Out of curiosity... How long does it take to dis-assemble and re-assemble a 12 bolt... using all new parts?

The excessive time is due to setting the pinion preload and the gear back lash. It must be shimmed to the proper setting. It is not a "just bolt it together" type of thing. It is a job for an experienced person. Not just any mechanic should, or will do this !

Takes me around 6 hours. I've done a few hundred of them.
