j-chicago, when i replaced the oil seal last year. the bearing was loose then. i pulled it out and looked at it to see if it needed replaced. i put it back in and put the new oil seal in. i put the yoke back on and tightened the nut back on with a wrench. i did not torque it. my chassis manual shows the rear end break down in the following order pinion nut,washer,slinger, oil seal, front pinion bearing (which is one im having questions about), collapsable spacer the rear pinion bearing. i dont see anything about shims. is this something that is a given. if i buy a new bearing does it come with shims? is this something i can fix myself or do i have to take it to a shop? thanks chris
