Hello Steve,
For all of the community it will be great if you can make video on how to do the preload shim properly.
I found some write up but a video complement will be great.
...If one day you have time.
Thanks
Yves, _Some day_ I'll have the time and will make a whole video series on rebuilding these units. To do it properly would probably be a dozen or more videos of 30~60 minutes each. That's a lot of work that I simply don't have time for now.
As for shimming the differential, the service manual documents the procedure and that's what I recommend doing. I should note that that's not how I do it now. Instead of setting the preload with the clearance, I only use the clearance to get it in the ball park. With the preload close I then check the rolling torque that gives a much better indication of the installed preload.
