[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 205557, member: 1384"] [b]Re: ECORS Stock Class build - TTB Bronco[/b] hit a lil snag today. Tore into the 3rd from the 9" to prep it. Someone had been into it before, bearing adjusters were scarred up from a chisel/screwdriver. So I clamped the 3rd up and torqued the spanners down 2 notches each with the PROPER TOOL, a homebuilt spanner bar. This got the carrier bearing preload up to where I like it.
