Am setting up an Eaton-e locker in an a high pinion 30 with new gears (4.56) from Alloy USA. Pulled the axle from the JY with all gears and shims so I could measure shim stacks.
I made up a set of set-up bearings for the carrier (LM102949's), got the pinion depth all set up, worked the shim stack until the backlash was set to the gear set specs, got a perfect pattern and was happy with the carrier preload.
Figured I was all set -
So I pressed on the final install bearings (exactly the same as the set up bearings) and used the same races as for set-up, but once I pressed on the new bearings, I couldn't get the carrier back in the housing.
I pulled the final bearings off, reseated the set up bearings and everything was perfect. Installed one of the pressed bearings and could barely fit it into the housing, but not enough to actually seat correctly.
What the heck? :icon_redface:
Anyone ever heard of this before?
I tried pulling shims out of the stack on both sides but after pulling 5 thousandths out of each side and pressing them on I still can't get it to seat properly. :icon_redface:
