Do yourself a favor, if you are going to do the repair yourself, check and record the backlash so the ring and pinion will go back into the same wear pattern. If you don?t set the backlash to the original number that you had before disassembly you will end up with a VERY NOISY rear end.

Use the same pinion shim so you also have the correct location for the pinion in relation to the ring gear.

Just a heads up,
Bob
