Too loose on the pinion nut is hard to the bearing
pinion bearing set because it would leave to too
loose on the pre-load.

Yea Tightening that yoke bought me some time for sure I'm not sure on the torque. I just kinda pounded on it with the Nitrocat until the side to side wobble was gone. lol I know not the correct procedure but it worked. I might be willing to get rid of the bars. I don't have the weld on axle brackets. It was too much work to get them off the truck before trading it in. I imagine you can order just those separate. It would prob be a good idea to buy the rear bushings that bolt down to that bracket I think one of mine was a little boogered up. Figure out what that stuff costs and make me an offer. I have the complete front front brackets and all the bolts. Your wanna snag a couple cases of red bull for drilling all the holes in the frame, it sucked I think there is 16 holes to drill. It does help with the axle wrap when pulling heavy that's for sure.

I think this is a new setup south bend is trying. I think it's a prototype. That's cool. I like the full face clutch dish. It's more like stock

I have found that sometimes the fingers look funny on the diaphragm
type clutch. My concern is the dry input shaft. You should recheck the book
and see if a tiny bit of lube needs to be put on it so the clutch disk will
move without sticking and putting force into the transmission while the
clutch is disengaged.

it is not recommended lubing (oil etc) because dust particles from disc will be attracted to the shaft and the build up becomes pasty and interfers with disc sliding on shaft sugest you try new disc on shaft before install to be sure no binding occurs somtimes new disc has been sprayed with clear laquer type substance to prevent rust before install or even a type of oil on disc spraying brake cleen usually cleans this up good luck on re install

I was just going to say that I did some reading into the workshop manual
and there was no requirement to any lube on the input shaft.
That being said I would clean the shaft of all the crud/rust and make sure
that the disk moves on the splines before the installation just to make sure that
there is not going to be a problem there. So Dry and clean is the way to go.
