    Anyone setting up gears needs to go to ZUK's site first and foremost and start reading. He breaks it down awesome and lists the tools you need. Toyota 3rds are easy with their adjusters and you can pop the 3rd out and do it on a bench. The dana series axles SUCKS since they use shims and you have to pop the carrier in and out while under the truck. The 14bolt is easy as hell to setup as well.

    You can also use a foot long bar at the end of a regular torque wrench as a makeshift inch-lb wrench.

    If you need precision measuring tools (calipers dial indicators etc) don't buy that cheap HF shit, pony up the extra $$$ and buy Mitutoyo and help keep my mortgage paid and my truck in wheeling condition!:D:D Plus its Japanese tooling so its a marriage made in heaven for our trucks lol. I also have the randy's bearing puller and that tool is sweet! It comes in handy for all kinds of bearings, not just gear related.
