Default Re: differential assembly

Jack,
Glad you found the issue. As said above it needs to be fully seated . If you take and old race or driver that can safely be used drive the bearing all the way down . You should not be able to get even the thinnest of feeler gauge between the carrier and the bearing.

I know you guys don’t have access to them but I’m fortunate to have a Kr Wilson driver that ensures the bearings are fully seated.
Here’s a tip I use when putting in the pinion bearings .
I use an incandescent light bulb mounted in zsingle porcelain bulb fixture mounted in wood and warm the bearing in top of he light bulb . They pretty much slip on the pinion stub and it makes it easier for the 2nd bearing when ready.

Appreciate your responses back and hope it all gets resolved for you.
