(transmission in gear). Add just enough shims so that the axle shafts spin in opposite directions when the wheel is rotated. Remove the above and clean, dry and re-pack the bearing with grease. Using a gasket sealer, carefully seal both sides of each gasket and of each shim and install the bearing retainer using the 2 rear bolts.
