You should set the BL to the same value before you took the carrier out. Now if you didn't measure it....or didn't mark the spanner rings (like I do) then set it for about 8 thou and crank the snot out of the bearings.....don't forget to beat the bearings with a hammer and crank some more. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
