Message: [QUOTE="MilehighEX, post: 350860, member: 2918"] Correct me if I'm wrong the 10.25 /10.5" Sterling does not have carrier adjusters like a 14 Bolt, 9" Ford or Toy 8"...sooo where are you putting your carrier shims? There is no way to get good carrier preload if the shims are on the outside of the carrier bearing race with out killing the shims, instead of under the carrier bearing itself. The carrier with preload should go in the axle housing tight. Once I get gear pattern set I add .010" to .015" on both sides of carrier under the carrier bearing for carrier preload and I use a giant deadblow hammer to get it in, the right tool would be a case spreader...I might make one someday....I'm not picking a fight just pointing out some things....Hell to get the carrier out in original specs it should not just fall, out you have to use a slide hammer or pry bars to get it out [/QUOTE]
