Defiantly not the case using a spreader on the aluminum housing.
I was there with stikSS during the gear install,what he says is correct.
The Old timer showed us how to do it and what to look for.
He also told us when the units are assembled at the factory the housings are heated during assembly to ease spacer installation.
As said,these are not Old School assemblies,the tolerances are spot on.
I don't see this as beyond the realm of a DIY kinda guy who knows his way around cars.Either the gear pattern is correct or it's not and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night
