Pretty much done with that. Just need to install new blower motor relay on the top and brush the rust off the bracket.

Measured like twenty times, ugh. I believe it's about 0.54 mm.

I think this shim will do.

I did buy them all for the rebuild. Keep the others on hand for future use.

Per tool instructions, it instructs you to start measuring after the main dial has rotated approximately three times (and the small dial is at 3), or the dial gauge indicator arm is at half-way of its total travel.Isn't that 2.53mm, or am I missing something?
I used a crush sleeve eliminator kit. Once you shim it, you can remove the pinion all you want or need to. After my rebuild, the pinion seal started leaking. I was real glad, I used the eliminator kit.Re-did the measurement by the instructions to the letter (zeroing out the dial gauge indicator in the step it instructs to do so, not before), and it was 0.58 mm (0.0023 in). Did it a couple of times and it replicated the same result, so I am comfortable with that. There was a shim with that exact measurement as well. Installed the shim and the inner pinion bearing onto the pinion gear shaft.

Cleaned up the yoke last night in preparation for installing the outer pinion shaft bearing, yoke, crush sleeve, and seal.

Decided to buy a few more crush sleeves in case I mess it up. Should be here early next week. First time doing one of these, so might need a couple spares. I think I have decided to use my hydraulic press to crush the sleeve a little, i.e., to start it. Maybe it will work. I've heard otherwise that it takes a LOT of force to crush the sleeve.
Did you replace the pinion seal during your rebuild and then it started leaking soon after that? If so, why do you believe that happened? Interesting.I used a crush sleeve eliminator kit.
