To be honest I wasn't planning on it I know medave over at club 4g dropped his in and didn't have any problems I was hoping to do the same.. But I can't now that the race is moving around like that, I was planning on checking the backlash with the solder but the manual made it seem like you just take the race out very easily but if you have to press it out and in it seems like it would ruin the race from the constant removal/ installation. Well the engine came in and I have to say I was really disappointed in the condition it was in maybe I'm just spoiled and not used to the rust like you guys out in Canada. It was shipped laying on its side and the oil pan crushed also It looks like a freeze plug has to be replaced...

O nice! You're a long way from home haha.. That would be great! But even if you came to help I don't have the tools to move on I have to go find a puller to get that race out and a installation tool to put the new race back in... Still haven't found a exhaust shop that does custom work.... One thing after another haha I will try my hardest to keep moving foward

I'm back home now, lol...
anyway, I'm pretty sure I punched the races out from the outside once i remove the axle seals...like just tap it gently all around the race so it comes out evenly...

I punched the races out last weekend, they came out really easy one light tap on one side and another on the opposite side and they came right out. Followed the process stated in the manual and measured .5mm of preload on the bearing manual says preloaded should be between .04-.11mm iirc.. There is a .86mm spacer already so someone correct me if I'm wrong but from my understanding I need a spacer that is .4mm to bring the preload down to the correct amount or get a 1.25mm spacer and a more accurate micrometer as I can only measure in .1mm minimum... But to me .04-.11 is so small I think the solder would disappear

the spacer is supposed to be removed for the measurement, measure again, and i'll bet you're within spec...

Well I guess I just have bad luck, engine that I got from car-parts dot com has no compression in cylinder 3 called them up and they said it tested fine before they shipped it and I must have did something to it so now I have two engine that are no good.. Removed the shim and put the trans back together and the solder barely got crushed I'm pretty sure I need another shim to adjust the preload will try again this weekend..
