I have a ton of freeplay in the rear axles, with the backing plate removed it looks like i am seeing the race, the tapered bearing is on the inside, race on the outside. I have tinkered to get a feel for it, I can drive the race in to the tapered bearing with a drift. I can see a void where shims could go but don't see what holds the shims and I don't see what to do if you overly tighten it - it calls for something like 6 or 8 thousandths freeplay, thats tough to get to using tools like big hammers, drift pins and slide hammers.
Anybody else done this? I have the shop manual but it isn't much help.
Thanks, Oj
