I replaced scored pinion bearings and set the pinion up ok. My problem is when I adjust the backlash. Everything goes fine until I torque the adjusters to 70ft lbs., with the brng. caps tightened to 100 ft lbs. Then the bearing cups will not stay in position, they push in and lock the carrier up. On close examination it looks like the cups may have turned (spun). Otherwise the cups and carrier bearings look good. I'm wondering if I inststall new carrier bearings and cups if the new ones would hold or will I be wasting my money because the casting is shot?
