1)
Can I get the pinion depth using the original/stock shim and add/subtract whats printed on the new pinion gear? The new gear (Motive) has “267” and another number that’s like “2.475” written on the top of the pinion gear.
2)
My carrier bearing pre-load is .012? Do I distribute that to each side? Basically .006 to each side, then adjust to obtain correct backlash? So something like .008 on one side and .004 on another? Or do i put .012 on each side getting a total of .024?
3)
When I crush the crush-sleeve on the final assembly, I torque the pinion nut to ~150 ftlbs, than I am supposed to turn the pinion with 20inlbs for pinion bearing preload? and if it turns with more then 20-30inlbs then my preload is off and i need an new crush sleeve?
