They take a little bit of movement to lock. Get both tires off the ground and spin them. If you can hear it lock, it is barely noticeable. They don't make any noise.

Can you take a pic of the pinion head looking straight at it?

What's your backlash at? Looks about 3-5 thou deep to me

C'mon Doug!

It's this what you're going for?

Do you have chromoly shafts or are you rocking stock still?

That's the place I'm talking about, do it to both sides. I usually wait until I'm doing final install as they can catch the shims going in. It's a PITA.

Just make sure the bearing race seats are clean when you drive them in. Also, didn't forget to cut an oil return slot on the right side as you're looking at it. There is one on the left, I usually make them a little bigger.

The seal housing is on the left (ring gear side) as you're looking at it. The bearings get pressed on first with no shims. The seal housing has shims and an ARB master shim that go between it and the race off the bearing. The thicker OEM shim goes to the outside of the seal housing and against...

That's the main reason we build the way we do out here. Sure I could build bigger, but the 35" platform is a hell of a lot of fun. Going to 40's would make challenging trails less fun and would really limit us to a handful of trails in our area that would be challenging. Don't get me wrong, I'm...

We're not broken down, just preparing for the apocalypse.

Exactly. Tack them in place and cycle the axle to make sure it's where you want them to be. It will also tell you if you need to trim your spring perches any. In the video I had the springs out but didn't reference the cycling like I should have. Another thing to note too is that not all...

Imagine that

Nice work!

Very common to trim the spring perch to avoid exactly that.
