[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2939534, member: 5412"] If you have the parts, and some Prussian blue, all it takes is proper shimming of the pinion to get the correct "smear" across the ring gear. YouTube should have some thing to look at about the "smear". What that means is the pinion needs maximum contact with the ring gear without too much pressure that would result in premature wear. The Prussian blue is a thick dye like Vaseline that shows the amount of contact, or near contact. Too much pressure, it wipes it off, too little, it shows areas of non-contact. When its right, the "smear" will be even across the ring gear with little lines through it. [/QUOTE]
