Yup. I was yelling at the screen "it's upside down!!!" as you pressed that bearing on. I watched this to refresh myself, got one to work on tomorrow. Thanks for the chuckles😂
I have the same rear. It's a 2000 Chevy Express 3500 6.5 diesel, 14 bolt 10.5 gm rear like yours. Ive been doing lots of long haul towing and developed a whine on hard acceleration and when the turbo loads and unloads it gets louder and softer. I adjusted the backlash down from .015" to .007" and it quieted down a bit but still whining. Looking to change the pinion bearings. Did you use the same shims or ordered some extra so you can adjust? Im a very capable😅 diy mechanic and don't have the 1800 bucks for a shop.Thanks for posting, exteamly helpfull.

Nice video. Is it possible to remove the bearing behind the seal without taking the whole assembly out?
i'm not sure

My gear pattern is perfect at the .007"
i bought new ones from amazon
So what was the problem did you over crush the washer the first time or were the bearings bad you think?
not really sure
