Who has them? I need shims to set the pinion bearing preload, not the shim for pinion depth.

Isn't there a crush sleeve and its set by the rotating torque of the pinion? I've never messed with the bearing preload on a Disco, that's how it is on a full size Range Rover.

Yeah, I should have called him, that's where I bought the gears.
I'll need to hit him up for a new pinion seal.

Jim, big difference between newer and older diffs, I have overhauled both and the out come is the the same of course. approach, tooling and adjustment totally different.

understood, I install arb and other lockers so I had to learn how to do them all, when rover came out with the 03 recall I was natural at it.
