Front pinion bearing fit

There's a reason I call Cass, Dr. Diff, when I have a technical question and not the rear end guy on the this board. It's because he doesn't do the junk that's occurred in this thread. I agree with Roy on this, supershafts, you like to run people down and look from his ivory tower. The two of us aren't the only ones that noticed the tone.

Also, if the preload issue wasn't directed at me in your response, you could have said so after the first reply to it. Did you? I've made comments in here and others took it as directed at them, when it wasn't. I posted right to them that the comment was not directed towards them. Pretty simple and it avoids pot stirring which is what this became.

This all could have ended early on and I apologize to the OP for the off track stuff. If the OP understood what I was writing about, great, if not, ask for clarification. Pretty simple. I'll assume he understood because he certainly didn't ask. I only suggest things that have worked for me when working on this stuff.

For the OP, throw it in the oven at about 250-300 or so for 10 minutes, see how it slides on. Get welding gloves or use a pair of pliers to pick it up.

Good luck with it.
