Hi, I just got the 6x6 back from the shop after diagnosing what was wrong with it. They charged me 3K to supposedly fix the center gearbox that had the spline gears all chewed down. He then told me the rear was making a clunk sound and found that the same issue was occurring in the back...

I had to order a new pinion and replace all the bearings in my 2014 Scrambler 1k rear differential. I also ordered a new shim which came in a package of about 10 -12 of them with different thickness. How do you adjust backlash on these considering you have to seal the case? I put the factory...
