I weld the 4 places on each side that the spider gears mesh together (On a 10 or 12 bolt gm). I do not weld them to the carrier.

take your time. Melt a rod in and then go do something else for a while. Come back and melt another in. Using old bolts as filler material to melt in with the rod is key.

yes as above NEVER weld the center pin or the axles some have said to tack the axles to the spiders so they wont slide out if broke but if you do this you cant change an axle if it dose break
and a welder friend gave me some rod with high nickle content i think UTB 65 is what he called it but the nickel lets it weld about any metal to any metal its a little softer weld but i have not had it break yet

Weld the ring gear to the pinion gear... That's one way to lock it up!!!! |

I used to weld the corners in the rookie years. After X# of times busting a rear every 2-3 derbies, I quit welding the corners & went to only welding side gears to the carrier. Been about 10 years since I've busted a rear.
I know somebody that actually did weld the ring to the pinion. He wondered why they shattered as soon as he tried to move the car.
If you have a front loader, such as a Ford 9 or a Mopar 8.75, you will have to pull the axles out and actually remove the carrier from the housing to get it done.

Nickel or stainless rod is indeed supposed to be ideal for the job, but it didn't take long to realize that it is a waste of money. 6013 works just fine.

I became a fan of welding the side gears to the carrier after slapping this band aid on a rear so I could get one more run out of the car.....  2 runs and one heat win later and it still was holding.Not saying it was an Ideal fix but at the time I didn't have any other options. |
