So last week end I did the float measurements and set the shims.
My setup.

Pushed up and done many times to verify that really was the measurements.

So I measured the thinnest shim that I removed to be able to measure end float in the first place and mind you I used a combo of shims from the kit that felt right.
I needed an extra 0.05 to 0.07mm more than the measured end float. I measured the shim by getting a absolute 0 on the dial and shoving the shim under the dial with light pressured applied on the shaft. you might miss it at first but you can see the shim.
The result, fuck yeah!
the "set by feel" shim I picked before was spot on!!! Very proud to get it in one go without actually measuring it first.- IMG_0932_zpsqzzfmiwi.jpg (197.02 KiB) Viewed 3362 times
I had some issue getting the input seal to stay in the retainer, kept slowing popping out. I ended up replacing them with genuine timken item from CBC.
These are tricky as the recess is so shallow, anyway all good now.
So I got this happening last night, also preheated the retainer and box for the sealant to properly cure and that did wonders, was mostly set in under an hour it seemed.
I used a cotton bud to coat the bolt hole threads inside and I also coated the bolts and under the heads to seal against any fluid leaking out the bolts. I used a bread bag clip as a perfectly wide mini spatula to give a nice even coat of sealant on both surfaces.
