Hello everyone , maybe someone can give me some advice-
I have just replaced the diff carrier bearings (both bearings and cups). I have also replaced the carrier spider gears to eiminate the excessive axle end play.

I have not replaced the crown gear/ring gear and the pinion adjustment was not touched. I made a note of the gaskets that were between the axle housing and banjo on each side when they were taken apart.

My Question is - Do I need to reset any preloads or can I just bolt everything back together and all should be o.k. ?

Tom Endy maybe able to chime in here .

Thanks
Mark.
