Once you pull the carrier out there will be a bearing, bearing race and a shim on each side of the carrier. Tag, bag and document which side is which, otherwise upon assembly the gears will not mesh. Oh and look what arrived in the mail, my auburn posi-trac unit for the rear axle.
Where did you get the spreader? did you buy it or rent it? curious because I need one for my 10 bolt regear..thanks
