Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
That gear on the left has a smaller rear pinion bearing, it probably is a truck gearset. The 12 bolt truck had a diamond shape cover and a smaller bearing. Looks like the wrong part to me.

Weary of guessing without a part number.

At this point, I would be looking for any numbers on the housing and the original gear set. Is this in the '69 Camaro in your sig? Have you contacted Strange?

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
If it is truck gear rear pinion bearing( next to teeth) is about .125'' smaller and bearing sets about .080'' closer to teeth(pinion is deeper in housing).

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
NEW RICHMOND NUMBER IS 79-0029-1
The gear that came with the housing ( the one without the bearing) is a US GEAR 4.88 Set up and installed by Strange Eng. I have 5 other sets of 12 bolt gears and all of them look the same as the Richmond. None of them will pass through the bearing in the housing.

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
Have you tried looking up the numbers on the US Gear on their website to see which gear set it is?

Re: STRANGE 12 bolt housing VS GEARS
You should use a press to install and remove the inner pinion bearing.
You do need to polish the shaft for the outer pinion bearing, but only enough so that it slips on and off, with a little bit of force. Are you going to use a crush sleeve or spacer to set the preload?
