So, I'm still struggling to understand how backlash is so far off (negative) to the point that it binds and I can't move it. I just finished finger tightening the pinion gear side and then turning each bolt 1/8 turn, which is so far below torque spec I don't have a wrench that'll measure where it's currently at. However, in this configuration I have the slightest bit of backlash. I'm temped to just put loctite on the bolts and see what she does in a car :-\
My other option is to try and get a hand full of shims and re-shim it, but how the heck did the internal components get bigger with time? The stock configuration should work...
