Front pinion bearing fit

You and I are on the same page here. I think for whatever reason Supershafts is trying to belittle us or suggest he is the guru of diff setting up. And all others are wrong! I've set up (and this is a guess) 100 or so rears so "this ain't my first rodeo."

He made an assumption here that was incorrect about the way I suggested to do things.

You'd have to be one of the duller knives, or dullest, in the drawer to use a hogged out, old, used front pinion bearing when putting together a fresh rear. Buy all fresh bearings/races and leave a couple out and reuse the old ones, genius! What do I know, maybe that occurs.

Some Dana manuals suggest setting up preload and depth at the same time. I choose to not do it that way.
