Always get a second set of NEW bearings to make set-up bearings... It makes a huge difference!!!! trust me on this one, the old bearings will be warn causing you to use too much shim, then when you press the new ones on you can have issues getting the carrier back in the case! this is a fun ghost to chase for a few hours!

I have made set-up bearings for dana 30, dana 44, dana 60, and Ford 8.8 keep them in the garage for future axle projects.

Good luck!
