The first time I did the install, I messed it up as I didn't read the instructions. The really key points are:
  • not mixing up which bearing races and adjuster caps came from which side
  • marking the position of the adjuster nut relative to the third member housing
  • tightening the backlash to zero THEN backing it off til you reach your mark.
  • lots of anti-seize on the adjuster nuts
  • don't tighten the bearing caps until the the ajuster nut is in place.

PM me if you have any questions.
