D30 Gear pattern, opinions?
So this was my pattern when I was using setup bearings:
With the real bearings and races pressed in I end up with .0035" of ring gear runout on the diameter. Backlash measures .005-.007 (measured in like 10 different locations..) which looks to be in spec. However my pattern went to this:
Looks like I need to back the pinion off a hair , but its close, some spots look more passable than others. Only problem is I don;t think I can get the inner pinion race out without mangling the baffle.. which I would need to order a replacement for.
Any thoughts?

Yup, look like you need to pull a shim out. Its hard to not destroy the baffle when you drive out the inner race. That's why I keep a ton of them in stock!
