[QUOTE="bubblehead93, post: 14353660, member: 96609"] for setting pinion depth, i hogged out an old pinion bearing (the one closest to the pinion gear, so if i have to remove it to adjust the number of shims to set pinion depth, just enough so it is a slip vice a press fit)... then just take the slack out of the pinion assembly to measure pinion depth... for pinion bearing preload... after I have set pinion depth, i replace the "hogged" out bearing with the new one and shims (measure the old crush sleeve and subtract a few thousandths)... check that pinion depth has not changed... assemble, torque the pinion nut to 125 ft-lbs and use either a dial or beam style torque wrench to measure the running torque depending on new or used bearing... add/remove shims a few thousandths at a time until you get the running torque right... hitting the pinion nut with a hard rubber mallet and turning it a bit before measuring to set the bearings is a good idea as well... then I install the carrier and shim it for backlash and then a few more to set the preload on the carrier bearings... never have used a case spreader, probably makes it alot easier though... hope that helps, hope it reads the way I mean to do it... good luck...
