You will need to set pinion depth and ring gear position to get that rear end assembly to work properly and live.
Absolutely. I have some laminated shims that I can use if needed, but have about 6 or 8 Dana shims that are about .010" each. I have some spotting ink I use for scraping.
You didn't mention, but I know about setting the angle of the driveshaft, if I can to make it correct for the transmission. That's a ways ahead of myself though.
I found 2 more bearings and races for the pinion. Ordered the bearings but going to use the old races which seem to be locktited in place. I don't want to put any heat to it and the races are not in bad shape, so going with new bearings from MIBearing. I think about $48 for both front/rear pinion bearings. I think this is all the bearings, I have just about everything apart. Does this bearing #E!! ever stop???
And yes, I learned my lesson guys, this bearing seal remover came today, I used it on the impact wrench, it wacked it right out of there.
