Dana 60 question

on my dana 60 , i sanded the pinion shaft where the bearings ride with 220 grit, also the spool ends where bearings ride with 220, then i honed the bearings some to let them push on with a sleeve and small hammer, i done this back in 1992, done all my dana 60.s this way, i have no wear on the bearing where it rides on the stubs. also the bearings are so hard , to hone , you cant measure how much was removed. i used a sunnen rod hone for that. just food for thought. i have changed gear ratios at the track without using a press. makes life easier. btw its a race car,
