So the bumper never came. I guess he just sent the shipping label and he hasn't told them to pick the bumper up. Idk why FedEx gave me an estimated delivery date if they diddnt have the package yet...lol

So I got the pinion gear all put together and in there. Set the bearing preload on the pinion. Got it at like 16 pounds per inch. Diddnt take much tightening of the pinion nut to do that.
Then I moved to the carrier.
Got the bearing off the long side just the bearing race won't come off the short side/carrier side. I need to heat it I think.
That's where I stopped for the night.
Pick back up tomorow night probably. My winch bumper is in ft worth and will be out for delivery tomorrow!
