8 3/4" 489 help needed w/ solid sleeve

If you have the ability to cut another 0.10 off the spacer I would go that route. I've used the solid spacer in the past and It doesn't take much shim to get the right preload but it seems like it was more than 0.10. What size shim did you use behind the bearing? And did you set the pinion depth with the correct tools?
