Charts for Quick reference:

















1) put inner bearing in hub
2) slide large shim over axle all the way up to the back of the axle
3) slide axle/bone into hub carrier
4) slide small shim onto axle through hub carrier
5) push outter bearing into hub carrier

using that i'm able to put my normal male silverback gorilla wheel nut tightening job and there's no binding. in the pictures that come with the shims (the pic socket posted) it seems like they want you to slide both shims onto the axle before sliding the axle into the hub carrier and like i said, that doesn't work.



I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM).

Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter:

The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

Just reference the post #. Many of us alter our settings so we see a lot more posts per page.

Personally for any to much or to little steering I always go with camber adjustments first, Its amazing how much input it has on steering & rear end rotation

I've gone with 7k oil. It feels tighter than I was expecting.

Looking forward to testing it out.

The shafts are located by the slots in the gear diff and then the slots in each shaft allow them to cross each other on the same plane. But those slots on each shaft keep shafts from rotating if the bevel gears were to grab the shaft. So by removing one of the shafts, the shaft left over has the ability to rotate, and that might cause wear on the gear diff slot that locates the shafts. Now, if that wear is none existent or no one really cares about it, then you can certainly run just one shaft.

It's just a thought I can see the part wearing out.

Yes, you can plug in a PT to the bind slot.

Thanks for the heads up. Ordered one to try out. I will report back. I plan to put my transponder in the Bind spot.

I fully understand the point you're making but a shaft without gears can float up and down in the diff making contact with the out drive gears. The are no protrusions in the diff lid to hold the shafts in place.

I havent torn my diff down yet but i would think that you would be ok to put in both shafts as long as the one without gears is on the bottom. If my memory is correct on one side the notch doesnt go all the way down. If u put the one without gears in first then the one with gears on top it would hold everything together. I could be wrong though.
