Yes, that is what he means. Only for testing purposes though.

I just wanted to make sure. Thanks Jason.

I have my car held together with bubble gum and toothpics. Seems to be working...I just can't go above 1mph. How's it working on your trans?

Burning River??? you in Cleveland by chance? We don't here from the Clevelanders very often anymore.

Gary, I want to make sure I understand you correctly. You ground down the outter edge of a differential race so it fits into the case easier, correct???

That's right, it's a slip fit in the trans case bore. It's just to measure the amount of shim needed. Once you know that, you select the right shim, put it behind a new bearing race and shrink fit the race into the case.

Should have seen this earlier, but I've been in Stuttgart Germany since October 4, returning tomorrow. One more Hefeweizen, and I'm off to bed, got 12 hours on airplanes tomorrow.

Well mine is held together with rust, and hope, but it hasn't had to move anywhere. I can only pray will do 1 mph.

I finally got some pictures uploaded, and started a new thread here:

Born, and raised. I live in Parmatucky now though. I had a ford Tempo that got stolen by a tow truck, and after getting two red light traffic camera tickets, one for 7 over. I decided to move. They wanted 160 bucks (with late fees) for the traffic ticket...

Gary, when you get back, contact me please, thanks!

And hope you had a good trip!

I was looking around at bearing preload in general, and I found some very interesting information here:

http://books.google.com/books?id=mV...X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result#PPA165,M1

An sae paper, that states the bearing should be rotated 15-20 times before preload is set (when in 'cone down' position). It states that if this isn't done, the bearing will lose .1mm (or 4 mils) which is huge. The bearing in question is NSK hr30210xj, which is listed here:

50mm id, and 80mm od. Close in size to the differential bearing.
