The pinion preload; 1st set with new bearings was just over 20"/lb. Last set with used bearing was actually a touch tight at 15"/lb. Last rotating torque with the carrier was 30"lb. And yes it started at .007" and has zero. I've been told the teeth bend tightening it up. More than one source suggested far more backlash to start. Close to .014"
