Hey guys this weekend I decide to install a set of 4.10 gear and ran into some problems Well first of all I don't have a micrometer but a caliper which is not as acurate to measure the pinion head or shims. After I pulled the old pinion I took a measurement at the head and then the new one and it looked close. So I did the same with the factory shim and the only one that looked alike in the FMS kit was the .030. To make the story short after I installed the pinion to specs with the new shim and crush sleeve the carrier will not turn!!!! I was told from a lot of people to reuse the stock shim, well I did, I guess since like I'm taking measurements with a caliper and the shim that looked the same size as the factory one was the .030. So what do you guys recommend? My friend told me to install a thinner shim, but will a .002 make a big difference since a lot of people go by that? Please don't tell me to take it to a shop, because I'm in a shop borrowing space and the car has to stay there untill tuesday and I'm paying daily for it . Please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!!
