And it should press smoothly and easily into the gear, again with no "pop." If you must apply any pressure at all to get the bearings in, relieve the hole where they go. Don't let either one become sloppy -- it's a bearing and it must fit properly -- but these are small bearings and it doesn't take much to deform the outer race. Premature and uneven wear can easily be the result.
Going to run the cars(all rebuilt diffs) tomorow and check them after racing. I think the bearings or some thing is misaligned as you have said. As the parts have done a fair bit of work now i'l change the lot this week... Darren wil sort me out no doubt!
Have any of you guys run the geared diff in the x6??
