Bwahahaha.
best answer lol
I'm still laughing out loudbest answer lol
I`m not planning on it. This is my first go at fixing a rear end issue and I`m not super comfortable going any further than I am - @dall needs to get squared away so I can watch him do this stuff more often, he`s been helping me along the way. I do realize it may be worth it while it is all taken apart, but unless there is a show stopping reason, I am going to just replace the 2 inner bearings/races.Are you going to replace the pinion bearings too?

the passenger side bearing of center section had play where the cage and rollers could move easilyYou'll still need to get case bearing preload and backlash set or you'll eat the bearings or gears again.
Be happy you aren't doing it in a diff that's all done with shims because that makes it a pain in the asś.
Thanks. I`m prepared to check the backlash but I`ll have to look into the case bearing preload. I did not move the driver side adjuster so I am hoping it`ll be fine where it was and will only have to adjust the passenger side.You'll still need to get case bearing preload and backlash set or you'll eat the bearings or gears again.

that is part of the backlash lolThanks. I`m prepared to check the backlash but I`ll have to look into the case bearing preload. I did not move the driver side adjuster so I am hoping it`ll be fine where it was and will only have to adjust the passenger side.
2that is part of the backlash lol
cant hide money
Is that a 1/2” digital in the black case? I have the 3/8” digi and love it.
If I ever need to redo a rear end, I know who I am calling....last time I was into one the outcome was less than ideal.Case bearing preload is measured by rolling torque.
You need to measure rolling torque on the pinion. Then measure it with the carrier in place and keep adjusting until that's in spec and also backlash.
