Re: Mind checking my pattern?

Interesting, everything I've read says to turn the ring gear rather than the pinion (which is contrary to what I'd have thought since turning the pinion is how the thing works).

At any rate I pressed on the new bearing. Used the solid spacer and some shims to obtain a 20 in lb preload on the pinion. Had to cram a couple of shims in on the left side to get both a very tight carrier preload and to get the pattern back.

Found out that the new brake lines I bought from Summit actually are the wrong ones despite what they say on their site. I've ordered replacements after already mangling the lines and realizing they're not right at all since one of the tube nuts is the wrong size, but it looks pretty nice regardless!
