Next question..... I set the backlash and pinion depth. I've got a real good pattern. Now on to set the carrier bearing preload. I set the preload with the caps at 20ft/lb. Then when I torque the caps to the required 75ft/lbs, the resistance or preload increases dramatically. 19in/lbs -35in/lbs. I haven't read anything about checking the preload with the caps at full torque. Am I being concerned over nothing?
