Well here I am 2 weeks later and still can't get the slop out of the pinion. Getting ready to pull it out AGAIN so I'll take some pics to post up.
My question... are pinion bearings the same size on a thick cut 4.56 as on the stock 4.10's? I was under the impression I had 4.10 when I ordered the install kit to replace the bad bearings and when I got the cover off to do the job I thought the ring gear looked big. On further inspection I found 4.56 stamped on it.
My torque wrench only goes to 250, and the yoke still had some in and out slop. I got another 1/4 turn on the nut with a 4' breaker bar but no change in slop.
I didn't have a mic. at the time I put it together but the old outer pinon race and the new one looked the same when stacked on top of each other so I went ahead with it.
Only thing I can figure is maybe I got the wrong crush sleeve or....??? When I ordered the kit Summit's website said it came with crush sleeve but it wasn't in the box when it got here. After arguing with customer support (their tech said my application didn't require one) I finally got them to send me one. I didn't even think to compare it to the old one.
Is there anything else I need to look at? I'm out of ideas after this and really don't want to tow it to the only local shop and wait two weeks for them to even look at it because they are so backed up.
Would REALLY appreciate any suggestions
