Sprint Diff Bearing Shims

#1 Post by Mad Mart »

Does anyone know the OD & ID of the pinion bearing shims and the carrier shims for a Sprint?

Sorry for the late reply.The diff carrier shim is 50.8 o/d,and 39.6 i/d.I have made my own tool up to punch these out of shim steel.I have used the same size shim between the pinion and the first bearing onto the pinion shaft.(I think Robbers,list these).If you need to replace the collapsable spacer with a solid one.The o/d I have used is 33mm,and an I/d of 25.5(the shaft is 25.4).Hope this helps.
