    Rear End Education please

    just to correct a couple things in the long post #22 -- widths on the yokes should be 7260 - 3-1/4 and 7290 3-5/8 -- and PINION DEPTH does NOT change when going to a solid spacer on the 489 case ,,the solid spacer replaces the crush sleeve , you only have to set up the pinion bearing preload...
