how do you remove the spider gears in a 1999 chevy siverado?
bug spray ought to do it
First remove rear cover then remove cross pin bolt. Once bolt is removed then slide out cross pin. After cross pin is removed then use your fingers and spin the spider gears out.
.356's
It has a timing chain and gears.
You don't
It would have 3.73 gears in it
You need to remove a bolt inline with the axles on the spider gears which holds the center pin in place. Remove the pin, rotate the spider gears to the other side. Now move the axles inward to reveal the c-clips and use a hemostat to remove. Of course the the truck is up on jacks with the tires removed.
I have a 2001 Chevy silverado with the 5.3 and im almost positive i have 3.42 gears
they would be the same if both vehicles have same differentials . note that front and rear diffs on 4x4, must be matching ratio, to work properly when in 4x4
PROBABLY one of the little tiny itty bitty gears has stripped
Remove the bolt in the pin then u may have to get a chisle and hammer and knock it out
