I know there are no stupid questions, but none-
the-less...I'm rebuilding two rear axles for my 
Italia and I've run into a problem that I hope 
someone can help me with.
Removing the diff and removing the bearings I've 
destroyed all the shims and several of the 
bearings. How can I set the back-lash, end-float, 
etc. with out having to replace everything each 
time I dismantle it? If I'm right, I need to 
assemble it, measure it, dismantle it (and 
destroy everything I just put in) and start over. 
Am I missing something obvious? I can see how 
some modifications would make this easier, but 
I'm hoping for some tried and true solutions. 
Thanks in advance for any help.
