Ya I went ahead and bought a new bearing for the imput shaft/gear and had it pressed on. All I have to do now is put it back together and install in the truck. The first time doing something new always takes longer than planned. If I had to do it again, prob like 2.5 hrs including the removal from the truck.Then on tuesday the rear third comes out to get a new TT mini spool.
So much to do and to little of time.
