Anyone?????

Also, I just tried taking out .003 from the solid pinion spacer to try and snug it up a little more, but then when I tightened it up it was looser??????? So I left out the thin shim all together and now it feels the same as when I had it set up the first time. It doesn't make sense and I'm getting pretty pissed.

solid spacer with .013 - about 8-10 inch/lbs drag
solid spacer with .011 - noticible play/not even at 0 lash
solid spacer only - about 8-10 inch/lbs

Don't wirry, when I took it apart to try the .011 ship I used a hammer to knock out the pinion and totally mushroomed the end of the pinion threads and don't have a 3/4 20 die so I hade to file it down even and go over it a bingh with a thread file. The whole time I had a steering wheel/pulley puller in my tool box. I'm retarded.
