pattern is unreadable, it is the wierdest thing. backlash is showing .011. if i tightened the pinion bolt down too much, can i back it out, or is it done?

too much as in too much preload on the bearings? It would have to be a shitload to crush the bearings, but if that did happen, theyre done. If you overtightened it, but not enough to crush anything, youll still ned a new crush collar. What size pinion shim are you using? Also, when you say the patern is unreadable, is it possible that the gears are only making contact on the edge and thus not showing when you brush on the compound? are they clean of any oil so that the marking compound adhered to the gear teeth?
