American Powertrain Hydramax Bearing Quesion
The blue spacer with stud is too thick to provide the desired gap. The shims pictured use a separate stud that replaces one of the original bearing retainer bolts on front of trans. My calculation is it will take about 9 of these shims to get the distance. But with that the provided stud will only accept up to the 5 shims that’s provided in the kit. I would rather use the single spacer instead of a stack of washers. As I said earlier the area I live in has one machine shop and turning a brake rotor is considered machine work to these clowns. All I have here is a bench or a 4” grinder. Thanks Eric.
