Per patrick's instructions: turn the bearing adjusters two notches past snug to achieve proper preload. Isn't that all it comprises of after setting backlash and gear mesh pattern? Then locking the adjusters with the little clamps that bolt on top of the bearing cap. I spent about an hour double checking everything and setting backlash and then I continued with the instructions. Although it was hard, I turned the bearing adjusters two notches past snug, just like the instructions said. Then I checked backlash again...still the same. I then locked down the bearing adjusters. It feels as if there is a little more resistance when turning the ring gear now. Is that the result of setting the proper preload? Also, before I put it in all the way, is this the proper orientation of the grease seal on the okie bushing?
