The setup bearings will get you close, but set the shims on the loose side because the actual pressed on bearing will expand slightly from the press fit.

The clamshell type bearing remover will allow you remove the bearings without damage if you need to change the shims.

If you need a case spreader for a Dana 60

I have that tool and it works great for side bearings. On the pinion bearings, I prefer to polish the journals on the pinion to get the fit I prefer; light enough that I can get the bearing on and off without damaging it. Light enough on the front bearing that it will go in and out with a light mallet. Then you're able to set it up with the bearings you're going to use. I find the bearing fit on new pinions to be all over the place depending on who made them. Some just need the coating polished off, others require more work for an acceptable fit. Tolerances seem to be all over the place on these parts these days.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
