Hello

One thing that you will have to do after the installation of the bearings is to pull everything up tight and measure the end-float of the half-shafts. There is a table in the "Green Books" that tell you what shims you need to install, according to the amount of end-float, so that you have the correct clearance between the half-shafts that "bear" against each other in the final drive housing. I am not sure where you will get shims but you can quite easily cut some from shim-stock.
