I was taught a few years ago how to measure,rebuild, and swap gears in rear ends(diff). Now I can't remember any of it because I never got much practice while learning and now I've worked on Saturns for a few years- no reason to change gears on saturns.

I lost the know how.

Anyhoo, does anyone have a book that shows this in great detail with lots-o-pics that they'd like to recommend?
Thanks

 

Some of this may help, I hope

Their not cheap but makes Chilton's look like childrens books. The ones above are even brand new, but there are always used manuals from dealers on ebay. I dont think you can get a better book since these are from the authority.

Heres a page from myl '89 factory manual. There are 25 pages in all on the 8.8 rear end, including a backlash/shim change guide. Lots of pics to read too.
