Pinion Bearing question
I have the drive shaft ready for assembly. Before I do final assembly a question, the bearings sleeve is 3 1/16 but my bearing is only 2 7/8. 3/16 of play on the sleeve is correct. Don’t want to start tightening things up and set end play in not.

Re: Pinion Bearing question
The Hyatt bearing should be able to float, drive shaft should stay still on end play in the tube.
