Done. Must of had pinion in and out dozen times setting preload and depth. Got 25 in-lbs on pinion and 45 in-lbs on complete assembly. Had a pinion variation of plus 3 on new...added 2 thou in shims that brought my backlash to 8 thou...which is midway on the 8 to 10 spec. Tighten up carrier by 2 thousandths on the drive side from orginal...got good pattern on drive side...almost looks as if it needs to be deeper but has nice split on coast side that says goo shallower...I'm gonna call it good. The new rebuild shop press worked awesome leeps over a bottle jack
