RE: breaking 8t diffs
the Spider gears never need shimming.....only what comes in the package with the cups.....the only thing i shim on my rear diffs if the Ring gear....im pretty sure there's are least .3mm worth of shims...it makes the diff a Hair wider then the inserts will allow...but if u "click" one side in the kinda press on it....it should pop right in and be silky smooth.
