[QUOTE="hokie_yj, post: 490668, member: 4238"] The fact that the backlash was a little out of spec was bugging me so I made some adjustments today and got the backlash down to .009". [URL=http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/6A046F06-8AB0-476F-ADBE-DA466953EF02_zpssj2kvetp.jpg.html][IMG]http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/6A046F06-8AB0-476F-ADBE-DA466953EF02_zpssj2kvetp.jpg[/IMG][/URL] But a few of the ring gear teeth just barely drag on the pinion pilot bearing housing now. Here you can see where it's dragging on the toe of the ring gear.

It doesn't lock it down and I can still easily turn the yoke by hand. You can just feel it barely drag as the teeth rub. As bad as I hate to I'm going to tear it back apart.
