awesome, thanks a lot for all the help man.
I figured out what shims are now, I have all mine, they are all nice, clean, straight, etc..
the wd-40 trick also worked in getting that one damn spider gear off, and I dont think either of the bearing even needed changing!!!
How do I tell how to put the bearing on? I dont know how to find the rubber seal, they look identical on both sides. I am using cheap advantage bearings.
the ones it had on before it took it off had black caps and looked nice and fairly new, are those the stock ones or aftermarket ones? I can take pics if you dont understand.
