[Chevelle-list] Differential Question

[Mike Holleman]

Larry, There is a crush collar inside the front housing that sets the 
pinion/ring gear endplay. By removing the pinion nut that setting has been 
lost. I am not aware of anyway to get this corrected short of a new crush 
collar and re torque the nut for proper meshing.  You can only use the crush 
seal once. Maybe someone else can advise you differently.
Mike
