Solid spacer pinion sleeve gurus come in

[72tutone]

Thanks. So, upon snugging it down, check with an inch lb wrench to make sure preload is in spec, then torque it down, and preload shouldnt change?
My preload seems to get tighter and it blows my specs way out. I only need 13-15inch lbs according to Yukon for a 12bolt on new bearings.

So @a1971blazer, when you say solid spacer is a few thou short, I need to add additional shims then?
