I have changed all the oil seals and gasket on the sprint axle. The diff looks to be in good nick and it is painted. Trouble is I don't how to setup the backplate shims. The axle came with a load of them, but the little book of lies has no mention of the procedure and I can't find any forum posts.
How is the initial setup done?

Re: Shiming sprint axle.
If you can find Mike Weaver's blog he has done this on there.
