Yeah, I fully expect that there is no way to get them completely quiet. I just thought I would try to reduce the noise some and at the same time experiment with the set-up to learn on a set of gears that I really can't hurt.
I'll blow it apart today and see what I can do.
Now, is it realistic to expect to be able to remove the pinion bearing without ruining it? And tips, tricks, or suggestions are welcome.
I have pulled them with a good sharp bearing separator, sometimes not. The shims should be under the bearing cup. Test bearings would be smart, spend some time at carl jantz superjeep on you tube and watch how to slam a dana setup out. With test bearings you can change the shim and get a pattern in 5 minutes. Worth your time.
