That's how I have learned most things, just read/watch/ask and then tear into it.

Be a booger to have to redo something in there once your whole truck is done and you want to just drive!
Yes, I was smart enough to label (by side) and bag all of the shims, bearings and caps separately by side. Yes I also have a friend that is willing to help me check back lash once I'm back together. Thanks for the tips.
