note: ive never messed w/ shims/gear set up/ etc so i prolly effed this up
i was replacing my pinion seal today and i couldnt get the seal out so i tapped out the pinion. long story short all the shims are bent. the one behind the race for the pinion bearing, and the little ones behind the outer pinion bearing (name?) i donno the tech part names but i know they are shims and that they are bent. few questions?
1. is this normal?
2. if not, can i run it with the shims bent( actually i guess warped is more of a correct term).
3. is there any way i can get around this with out having to pay someone to set up the gears in my front end?
thanks and sorry if this has been covered
