Default Re: ring gear slipping off

There's a system called a "Dutchman", where you drill and tap half way into each piece, in this case the ring gear and the wheel itself. I did this with the flywheel off the engine, but it could be done without removing it. The engine on our 4 cyl.'s only stops in 2 places, 180 degrees apart. You will see this by the wear marks on the ring gear. I put these in 4 spots at 90* from each other, but I think one at each wear-point would suffice. If I remember right, I did not tap all the way in, so the set-screws I used bottomed out on their threads, holding the screws in place. Good luck!
