  • The way you test if you have done a good job or not is to apply paint on the gear, and spin it through the diff. If the gear it rubs against wears a consistent pattern in the paint, you've done a good job. You must test this in both directions- coast and drive.<br /> If the pattern isn't very consistent in the coast direction, it will usually break in over the course of driving. If the pattern isn't very consistent in the drive direction, it will just break.

  • Here they are taken out of the diff. Adding 1/1000th of an inch can put you out of spec.
  • A similar process goes on with this bearing to set the preload.
  • A slightly thicker shim on this stack can mean adjustments throughout the rest of the diff.
  • The shims are very thin.
  • All of the pieces, once we got everything shimmed properly and to spec.
  • Now it was time to make things permanent- press the bearing!
