Hey Guys,
I need to know if there's a way to set up drive shaft shimming without opening up the bottom end and removing the drive shaft. I picked up a used gear case, and changed out the bearing housing seals. When I reinstalled the housing, I noticed the drive shaft had a lot of side to side and up and down play. I added a few more shim's until the play almost disappeared (there's no binding). How tight should the bearing sit in the race?
