2009 April 21: Rear drive (2.00 hours)
Updated:
- Finished setting the bearings on the pinion carrier (needed to remove one 0.1 mm shim.
- Checked the interface of the pinion and crown gears with some blue paste. Everything looks fine there, and since the teeth already look very good, I reassembled without making any critical shimming adjustments to either the crown wheel or pinion.
- Fit a new inner (larger) seal.
- Fit new gaskets (greased on both sides for easy future removal, as I do on nearly all gaskets).
- Cover torqued to 18 foot pounds.
