Yes I am using all new bearings and yes I saw that somewhere that the seal adds 3 inch lbs. I have 30in/lbs now just pinion and new bearings. And I saw with carrier installed it should be +8 in/lbs so all 3 I should have a total of 41in/lbs with seal and carrier correct?

You can get the bearings off with a normal old cheapo bearing separator from HF without destroying them. The shims might take a hit though. Just make sure you inspect them before you reuse them to make sure.

You might have to press them off again and play with shims some more, thats all. I use a snap 4.5" bearing separator. got it off ebay. its nice on the bearings, doesn't destroy them. Or run with the together backlash. rear might not be ideal, I've known guys who swear by a tighter BL up front to help with deflection under load.
