    Hey Fellows!
    I am putting a posi unit in my rear end, and I noitced the smaller tapered roller bearing on the pinion had a slip fit, slides on and off real easy. the new bearing want slide on, even with hitting it with a dead blow hammer. Does it need to be a slip fit like the old one or pressed on like the new will have to be. thanks guys Robby :3gears:
