Now to bolt back in.

by way of explanation, these are diff shim combos. I was trying to get the ring gear "lash" into the spec range (otherwise diff will blow up really quickly)

I didn't have the EXACT right shims and finally had to slightly "machine down" a slightly thick one to get the right size. We used a big belt sander to take off a few thousandths... It worked great but took great care to ensure we got it EXACTLY straight/even.
