Front axle input bearing
I think the bearing is bad behind my yoke of my front axle. If I pull out the internals and replace it, do I have to re-do the gears or can i just be careful and put it back together and assume the shims are right?

Paint-mark the pinion nut before removing it. That way you can just re-align the marks after it's torqued. If your back-lash was still within specs before, you should be good to go.

make sure to mark the shims so that they go back into the same place very important they should be pressed in behind the bearings but not always but if they go back in the same spot you should be ok

sorry to differ with the rest but if you install new bearings
you will need to re do the gear setup
its not like you are removing every thing to add a locker and putting every thing back the same
new bearings will be different and need different shims
you my get lucky and the same setup will work
