8.8 Cross Pin bolt damage

That sucks, you may not need gears. Pull the rest of the spider gears out and inspect the ones that ride on the shaft. If there the only parts that are worn you can get just a spider gear set.

Thanks... i don't see any damage, to gears, just the one ring... If I yank it all out to replace tone ring, I'd think it's the right time to do carrier bearings, and all... since it's disassembled anyway... wondering if it's worth that, or just put in a new bolt and deal with a non-functioning speedometer.
