And if I'm not using the brake backing plate do I just slide in the axles? Edit: Shoot... Just realized I'm going to need to order my brake kit first as it has billet adapters...

I'm a little bit nervous about getting the axle end play just right if anyone has any last minute tips and instructions of how to set up the diff. I really don't want to ruin a newly rebuilt diff.

They don't take an endplay adjustment. Either way, I'd call Cass and ask him for tips on assembly. He'll give you the straight scoop and you won't have to wonder which of us idiots here knows what hes doing and which one doesn't. Everything in my rear-end came from Cass, and I can say that he is great about helping you with technical questions. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

No green bearings for me. Maybe I'll call him tomorrow morning.

He did leave some instructions in his brake kit packet so I'm going to try and see if I can figure it out.

There seems like there is little to no play on both sides no matter which way I spin the adjuster. I guess what I'm asking is what's acceptable so I don't eat wheel bearings?
