split on the caps. I guess multiple measurements could be done to verify the zero is set to centerline of the bearing, or figure out how much to add/subtract.

where are some good write ups on setting gears?
look in factory service manuals.
Then check randy's R&P setup for specs.
The rover book has a kick ass set of instructions. search for the RAVE disc and you can probably find it on some norwegian pirated software website.

who here has setup gears before? I'm tempted at trying it myself, but for what these things cost me, I'm worried about screwing it up. I would like to at least get some help doing the rear axle, since it will see more abuse and is needed the most for driving around town. This would at least give me an idea on what to do, and then maybe I could try the D60 myself. I had someone who said he would help me, but haven't heard anything from him in a while, so I don't know if thats off or not. I'm willing to pay in cash or beer for help, or even for the use of some of the specialized tools needed.
If nothing else, is there anyone local who can set these up for a decent price? I've heard of the AAMCO place, and one other, but have heard bad things about both of them.
J&P standard transmission out on 21 reset the gears on my crewcab when I lost a carrier bearing for a decent price.
Search J&P....varying opinions
i went to get some parts from them. very reasonable and nice guys. i changed my mind about them. after all, the only bad reviews i ever read came from austin roberts...nuff said, eh?

One friend of mine had them install an ox-locker in his jeep.....he made it to Hwy 6 before the pinion bearings froze because they didn't refill the gear oil. They took care of it though, replaced everything with no hassle. I'd say if you take it to them just get someone else to check it before you use it.
had good luck with them in getting some small pars and info when setting the gears in my 60.

built the front spring packs today, hung the front D60, and ****ed up my steering arm (don't ask). Decided to call it quits for the day and get ****ed up. Mission accomplished
