The loctite on the pinion shaft is an old trick. I remember reading about it tin the '70's, also, the ease that the pinion turns is a good thing. I remember changing a gear set at the track, but that was years ago, and we crushed the sleeve in the pits with a very long breaker bar and we recruited the local Mongo to crush it for us. Getting him under the car was hard, but the hardest part was getting him on his feet again.

When I pulled the rear apart the pinion really spun easy.
