H190 Spider Gear Swap

A pretty common upgrade for the Datsun trucks is to swap out the stock diff carrier(4.11-4.88) for a 510 wagon carrier(3.89) for better highway driving.  I searched high and low for a how-to on it before doing it myself.  I didn't find one, so I fired up the camera and shot some pics and vid of the process.  There are three vids that cover most of the critical stuff.   Pics cover most of the rest.  If I have some time later, I'll try to update this page with better quality vids.  I had a really hard time with the audio/video syncing up correctly when I originally posted them to photobucket.  I can't find the original files on any of my drives, so I had to download these from my PB account to load them up here.  The info is there, but the sync problem is annoying.  Anyway.....

I'm also going to include pics and vid of some of the other processes involved during this upgrade.  I've never been into the carrier for any other reason but to change the spider gears, so I'll put the rest of the info here too.
