Setting up the axle’s ring and pinion gears – it’s one of those jobs that even the most experienced 4x4 builders approach with hesitation. There’s probably no other job performed on a 4x4 that carries more mystique than how to set up gears. Why does the job have the reputation it has? Does it deserve it? Can even the first-timer get decent results at home? The answers, in order, are: “You’ll understand by the end of this article”, “sort of”, and “Yep, you sure can.”

Its not hard to do, you just need to have patience and a head for detail/math. Having the correct tools helps too. I've setup up countless axles both at home and at work.
