Thanks. P.J.

: The short version...
: - 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.
