anyone set up a 3rd member themselves?
how hard is it to get the correct shim thickness under the pinion bearing?i think i can handle this job but i may encounter difficulty if i have to remove this bearing to reshim it.any writeups or experience with this will help me a lot.
thanks

It's pretty precise work. When mine started givin' up the ghost I took the easy slacker way out and bought a new used pumpkin and threw er in there myself. If you think you are up to the challege then give'r by all means...

I have set up a couple. Its not that hard if you have the right tools and know what you are doing.

the lower the gears, the less teeth on the pinion and the more critical the setup. It's not any harder, just less forgiving of ANY kind of slop. (check out Zuk's site for what all has to be hit DEAD ON for 5.71's)

im setting it up at a friends shop that builds rears only,but he hasnt done a toyota in a while.the gears are 529 yukons.he wants me to buy an extra timken bearing(timken came in the setup kit)so we can open up the id to use as a setup bearing.i cant use any of the stock ones we have around because they are not timken and they have a slightly different height and prolly dont fit the cup perfectly.he has setup bearings for all of the other common rears he does.ive priced this bearing and alone its about 40 bux.maybe i should just buy one.
thanks for all of the input!
