Well, my 231 case cracked apart, and i picked up another 231, and need the sye setup(not hack &tap) transfered from one to the other, i dont think anything broke in the old case either and i dont know enough about it. I will bring both tcases to you.

Also, i have 4.88s and arbs and i pulled the carrier to change my front seals, and put it back in, and i put the spacers on either side but it doesnt seem to be right, and i cant get it all the way back in, when i tighten the pass side bearing cap, i cant turn the yoke anymore, so i had to put spacers behind the cap so i could turn it. Would like someone to help, or atlease let me know what is wrong if possibly. Located in the cary area.
Thanks
 
Not sure if I will have the time this weekend to help you or not. I can let you know. Could possibly swing by later in the week (Wed-Fri) to look at your axle issue.

Not completely following you on the carrier deal. You marked the spacers so they are going back in the correct sides right? I usually tap in all shims and spacers with a brass drift before attempting to install bearing caps. My Nissan R200A was a royal pain trying to get the shims and spacers back into place, glad the seals on that are outboard of the housing.
 
Yea i marked them. i was thinking that the carrier wasnt going in all the way, but i cant get it in anymore, and the axel shafts slid right in w/o a problem.........
 
I could help you out. The shop is getting remodeled right now, but I can get to you later this week or this weekend if you like. Give me a shout.

whoa, don't ever use the bearing caps to pull the carrier back in, the will crack in half and then you need a whole new rear end because they are cast and line bored.

Also, you can't just add shims when you please to the pinion and stuff. You could take out shims on the carrier to lessen the carrier preload but need someone experienced to help. You will need to recheck the back lash and gear pattern
