Has anyone got any Pinion Shims there willing to spare? Doing rear end Also need tips

[Starscream88]

Ok,

I just want to know if anyone has any pinion shims left over from there install there willing to spare?

I guess Carrier shims too but I dont want to be pushy,

also anyone got any tips for getting bearings on without a press?
Pinion bearings to be exact,

Ive heard boiling them works, has anyone ACTUALLY done this?
Or is it an old wifes tail

take it to a transmission shop. Most of them have presses. They will do it for you

Dont have time to mess around running to the transmission shop for every shim.

need to be able to do it "in house" kinda thing,

anyone got any shims?

 

[Stump1000]

I didnt say nothing about shims.. I mean to press the bearing on and off

 

[Starscream88]

Yes but to install the pinion you have to make sure you have the correct shim on it,

this could involve taking the bearing off the pinion a few times to get the right shim on
