Default Good grief......

Nice job.....

Keep in mind that the bearing races/cones will not go in where you have POR....either tape off the bare metal area or scrap the POR with a sharp Exacto blade.

Speedy sleeves go on bare metal with locktite.... any POR will make them almost impossible to fit as the clearances is so tight.

Make sure you wash your brass shims carefully and account for the paper gasket thickness in setting the preload. Each bearing should be able to rotate by hand ...otherwise its too tight. Same for the fully assembled T case it should rotate by hand when fully put together. \

Have lots of paper towels and solvent to repeatedly wash you hands during re assembly.

Can you imagine the poor guys doing this work in North Africa in between sand storms!!!!!! while being shot at!!!!

You should have been a surgeon.

Cheers

Cheers
