I've looked everywhere and I cannot get a straight answer on how to do this.
Here's my delima. Alldata says to torque the bearing caps down then set the preload. The problem is, once I torque down the bearing caps, there's no way in hell the threaded adjusters will move to set preload.
I dunno if something is wrong in my diff or if Alldata is wrong or if I'm just stupid and/or doing it wrong. :dunno:
So for now I've been adjusting backlash and preload with the bearing caps finger tight. But it's reeeeal hard to get backlash set when every time I get the backlash in spec, I torque the bearing caps down only to find that now my ring and pinion is completely locked up from lack of backlash :banghead:
On a related note, who sells gear set up paste? I can't find any around me.
