When I took it aparts it looked to me like I wasn't the first person inside of it. There was blue silicone seal all over the place. I installed the cups and cones and assembled it with the original shims. I started tightening the nut on the idler shaft and when I got to 60 ft.lbs the idler gear was hard to turn. Somewhere I read it should be torqued to 150. I assume that I need to add more shims. Based on the many post I have read of yours you have a heck of lot more experience than I do rebuilding these. I would appreciate any advice you may have. Thanks, Curt
