[QUOTE="Damnyankee, post: 1391476, member: 17638"] crap? never used the word. The way i see it, is that when the journals are line bored, the carrier bearing saddle is at the correct depth. i.e. its were its going to be in relation to the pinion. IF you loose a cap you should be able to replace it. But I understand that its not that easy. Say that that 1 is machined +.02 and another is machined .00 (use the + for further away from the pinion) If i put on the caps from teh .00 on the +.02, you stand a chance of crushing or deforming the bearing.(although i don't believe that that small of a difference is going to be an issue). If you put it the other way around, the bearing race may spin inside the "saddle and cap" (for lack of a better word discription). Changing the caps will not chance the position of the carrer at all. It MAY be too tight a fit or too loose a fit on the bearing race, but then again, all you need to do is check the actual diameter with the cap torqued down and see if it falls within specs. Since i am NOT an auto engineer ( i work in a diffent field), i am speculating that the ID of the cap and saddle should be about -.001, to - .002 of the bearing OD to ensure clamp load without deformatin. I can get conirmation on this if required.:beer: [/QUOTE]
