Carrier bearing preload ??

SSGN · 10-26-2024, 07:32 PM

I am assembling an 8.2 10 bolt for a friend. Motive gears,eaton posi and a complete bearing seal kit. How much preload do you use on the carrier. I had to damn near die trying to get the stock carrier out . I reused existing shims and man it was tight going back in. I have to remove because back lash is too much. I cant see the need for that much preload or force on the carrier. Any thoughts?
