Re: Rear differential

Your right, neither had I but, found I had two many shims on the pinion shaft, I headed up to the golf course that I worked at for 13 years due to the fact I remembered they have a hyd press. The new mech said I was welcome to use what ever I wanted, pressed the bearing off the pinion removed 3 shims reinstalled the bearing and put it back in the housing, no more problems. I don't have all the gages that is normally use when setting up a diff, so it was set by feel, I have about 10 thousands play between the ring gear and the pinion gear, could be 8 or could be 12 as I said all by feel. The center carrier is firm in its location. No oil in the housing yet as I used gasket maker and want it to set up before running it. If its bad shame on me.....this is what happens when you get old.
