so now i'm busy with the rear axle and i need some help.
I have to set the pinion gear clearance to install the new Eaton differential.
Is it the right way to do it?
1-I have to replace the pinion bearings : the bigger must be pressed in . The smaller is not pressed.
Do i already have to place shims behind the big bearing at this point? if so which size ?
2-i check the gear pattern pinion/ring to see how much the pinion must move.
3-i must remove the big bearing to place (or remove) shims.
4-re-check the gear/pinion pattern...
5-then i set the ring and pinion tolerance with my dial indicator.
