Until they rebuild it twice, it howls worse than before they started, and you're out $800... I'll be spending the money on the tools to do it myself next time.
OUCH! Do tell! Bad experience lately?

Hi Reed, take a look at some of the smart products here to eliminate the crush-sleeve needed to preload the pinion bearing.

Another useful tool I got for the side bearing preload: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/OTC-6602/

You may benefit from taking a look at this description of an overhaul, too. :D
