Message: [QUOTE="m j, post: 623271, member: 9848"] pinion bearing preload is set with a crush sleeve, a cheap piece of tubing designed to collapse as you tighten the yoke until y ou get the correct preload on the bearings. stupid idea. in our trucks the diesel continues to crush the sleeve leaving your pinion gear bearings loose. on mine I found them so loose the shim under the pinion head, that should never see movement, worn to about half its thickness from spinning against the bearing. the Yukon 9" crush sleeve eliminator fits with just a little filing for the radius on our pinion. neat design that captures shims between two interlocking pieces. I was expecting a piece of tubing and some shims so was pleasantly surprized by what I recieved. think I paid under $35 for that part, small change when its well over $300 for the master install kit.
