Default New bearings or old bearings,
Zedn If you are using new bearings you need an air gun to set the bearings. Once you remove the play in the pinion shaft to the bearings get an inch torque wrench, you want 25 inch pounds of drag when turning the pinion ONLY. Keep tighening the nut until you get to this spec. Backlash is more done with the spacers on the carrier bearings to move it right and left. You are looking for the tooth contact to be in the middle of the carrier gear ring. Make sure you include any shims before mounting new bearings on the pinion or carrier. Rick L. Ps slow down and mark the parts next time big guy.
