Well after reading that moving the shim on the other side of pinion bearing would fix the loud noise from the front diff I knew I had to try it. First off to get the roll pin out that holds the front drive shaft to the pinion you will need a air hammer with a punch end on it, atleast I did. Was no way to get any leverage to knock it out with a hammer and punch. Second have a bigger set of snap ring pliers to get the snap ring off to get pinion out, I tried using a nice smaller set before going and buying a larger set up. End result was 75% better, was hoping for 100% fix but for as little money as I have it it Im happy with being 75% better.
