Re: Mind checking my pattern?

I always use the big bearing I am going to install on the pinion and press it on ( one benefit is I have a press ) For reasons you have already encountered . I have never damaged a bearing doing it this way . The small bearing does not matter to hone it out . I believe I would start with removing .002 and see what happens . Also duplicate the back lash since we know it has been proven itself for a good pattern . We just need to find where you were before the other new bearing .

On the c clips , Sometimes it is close and can be a bear . If you have someone close have them push in on the alxe just enough to clear . It is usually the seals rubber part holding it out and a little pressure will make it clear . Along with a magnet and you should get it out no problem .

Let us know how it goes .
