All, FWIW I have run into this before. Some years the trucks used a different inner pinion bearing than what is commonly used in the install kits. The overall bearing and race stack-up is the same, however the bearing itself is shorter.

Like the others have said, always replace the races.

you did get shim out from under that inner bearing on the old pinion and put it on the new pinion under the new inner bearing right? most pinion shims I have seen are .035

**** poor worthless video,they didnt crush the sleave,it requires a big *** flange holder and a big *** breaker bar
Funny that he coated the seal area with silicone and then flopped in the out bearing silicone got all over it.Video done by people that do not know what they are doing and have caused problems for those whom may have follow there direction.
