Default crush sleeve

Here is a link to the entire procedure: http://www.keliente.com/gears.htm
Procedure is there, but no values.
Here is a different link: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/4013/re.html
Value is in one of the pictures, but not as detailed in the information as Keliente's link.

yep, just keep tightening the pinion alittle at the time until you get the right preload on the bearings. around 25 inch/pounds with new bearings, or 15 inch/pounds with used bearings.
