Thank you. I happened to find a set online and bought them. It included shims for the ring gear bearings aswell. Did you have to re- shim the ring gear too or just the pinion. My father and I are hoping just to have to shim the pinion, because the ring gear seems very involved (Good experience though). Lastly did you happen to use a pinion depth Finder/ micrometer or just go by the meshing past? Any comments suggestions appreciated.

Thanks, Andrew.
