Description of ๐ง Alvade 6602 Differential Bearing Preload Wrench - Suitable Replacement for Chrysler/Dodge, Compatible with Miller C-4164
Compatible with Chrysler/Dodge vehicles with 7-1/4, 8-1/4, 8-3/4, and 9-1/4 rear axles to adjust differential bearing. Replacement for Miller C-4164. A great tool to loosen the differential bearing adjusters inside the housing. It save your time and your socket. Made of high quality steel and cover with matte black powdercoat finish to prevent rust. This tool fit right in the adjusters easily after removing the axle shafts.
Worked on my Dodge Dakota with a 9.25 rear end. There were issues with this tool not having a stopper on the end so it was painful to slide past the bearing adjuster.
Works great. Reached the end of the axle tubes so that was nice. Hopefully I won't need it for a while, but it was the only way to get the job done. Saved a ton because no mechanic rebuilt my rear differential on my 2010 Ram 1500.
Pros
Excellent tool for loosening differential bearing adjusters in the housing. This saves you time and your socket.
This is a simple but essential tool. I used it on a 2002 Jeep Liberty with an 8.25 rear diff. It would be nice if the weld nut had a little more taper to make it easier to insert into the regulator. It seems a little pricey for a tool I intend to only use once, but it's still worth the money.
Pros
This tool fits easily into the adjusters after removing axle shafts
I need this tool when rebuilding of a 9-1/4 rear differential on a Ram 1500. I was able to tighten the bearing adjusters to 150 ft-lbs. no problem. If you do a lot of work with this differential, two of these would be ideal so you don't have to move the tool from side to side. I had to readjust the adjusters several times to get the perfect preload and play.
Pros
Compatible with Chrysler/Dodge vehicles with 7-1/4, 8-1/4, 8-3/4 and 9-1/4 rear axles for differential bearing adjustment
