Re: Carrier shims

Got all the bearings in except for the pinion bearing. I need a piece of pipe or something. I'll figure it out tomorrow. ! question . Under the pinion bearing there was a .030 shim. I can't find a source and the one I took out is rough. I can reuse it but its got a couple bites out of it. Do you know where i can get it? Manual doesnt show it and parts stores show no shim when they put my truck in. I don't think it does anything other than stops the bearing from contacting the bottom of the pinion gear
