Thanks Dennis & list,
I checked the pinion & crown, they look perfect. After reading the
Bentley manual , it says the side carrier gears should have "0"
backlash. Is this correct?
There are two side bearings on each side, one for the axle & one for the
carrier. Which one is more likely to spin. I removed the axle stub &
gently tapped out the axel/bearing assembly. This came out as an
interference fit but certainly not a machine press fit, I assume this is
correct. I can move the larger carrier side gear(16 tooth) on it's shaft
about .002-.003 back & forth with about a .005 backlash.The entire side
carrier has no movement lateraly at all that I can measure. Ring &
pinion backlash measures .004 which is in spec. Suggestions on how to
proceed would be appreciated.
