Hi guys,
I'm putting a Mitchell overdrive in my coupe. I did not take the rear end apart, I just pulled out the pinion gear out of the axle from the torque tube side end. I want to put in new bearings and bearing race. I know the first bearing is a press fit but it doesn't even slides over the dirst part of the pinion. So I think I'm going to use the old bearings because they felt like a better fit.
But I have another question, all the pinion gear preload measurements are made with a dismantled rear end. What are the preload values needed with an assembled rear end. Plus I don't have a dial indicator inch pound torque wrench!!!! How do measure the preload then?
Thanks,
Eddy
