Gave the housing a coat of paint.
Ended up cutting the old bearing cages and inner races off the carrier and pinon.
The old carrier shims. Whoever previously set up the gears had the shims between the bearing and the locker housing instead of between the bearings and the axle housing and they did not hold up well...
Picked up a new toy to press on the bearings
Laying out all the goodies and measuring the individual shims
This was my first time setting up gears, so things went pretty slowly and I had to phone a friend a few times, but I think it went pretty well. I think I have to adjust the pinion depth one more time and I should have it.
My running notes
To be continued..... again.....
