8 3/4 gear setup

Great thread. I have set up a few 8 3/4 and have found that if you have the shim from the old gear set that was previously installed in the pumkin you are working on, it usually is very very close to what you need. Next time i'm going to hone a new bearing, maybe get one of those set up tools. The pushrod across the caps may get you close but i wouldnt trust that method very much.
