- Establish pinion depth & gear mesh pattern, using gear marking compound.
- Set pinion & carrier preloads
Note- I find that some replacement bearings aren't the exact same specs as OEM. I use new Timkens with the inner race bore opened up a couple thou, for set-up bearings, and I usually have to do final adjustments to correct.
