To space the bearings correctly if you don't have a vernier use a geabox casing half, squeeze the pinion and axle together so they nip the bearings against the bearing spacer on the gearbox moulding. Put the casings together and check to make sire it's not too tight.

Excessive vertical and latteral movement means the bearings aren't spaced correctly so you will damage ring gears.

I recommend using this method just incase there are variances in the case mouldings because if you space it at 2.8mm and the internally moulded was less than that them you'll have gear failiures.
