I'm also waiting for the answer to my question above. The type of pinion spacer make a difference and I know for fact I've tested it. Can you say that??? Common sense tells you that if you don't move the bearing races and change the solid spacer length that the preload doesn't change because the bearings remain the same distance apart.
The one thing I do admit is something that I didn't tell you to do and that's to set the preload after you get the setup right.
I tell what, why don't we just forget it and you in your minute experience say I'm wrong and I'll concede and just not worry about trying to ever help you again.:wack:
