5th gens with aftermarket LSD?
I'm installing a new LSD, FD gears, and a few other replacement parts. Does anyone know the part No. (if any) for normal ball type bearing that will fit on the diff, to take the place of the OEM thrust/roller type bearings?
If I can't find normal ball type bearings, that will work, then I'm going to need to find the preload inspection tool for the diff. Anyone know were to get this tool? My local honda dealer seems to be clueless on this.

i looked at all years of preludes, they all seem to be taper bearings....
i wonder if anyone has measurements, possibly b-series diff bearings would fit.....worth a look
ill try and figure out how to shim officially, but i know you can always put it in, put the case together, and then stick feeler guages in-between the bearing race and the case

Stick feeler gauges in between the bearing race and the case? How in the world would you do that? I'm seriously asking, not flaming. Besides, when the diff is installed, there's no clearance between the bearing race and the transmission housing. If there is, you have SERIOUS problems!!
There isn't a way to replace the conical bearings AFAIK. Just replace them with stock bearings, and set the preload to spec. I've done at least 5 or 6 LSD installs, and I haven't had any trouble with the stock bearings.
You need to make a preload tool, the Honda one won't work with an aftermarket LSD.
You could use a junk driveshaft and weld a socket onto it. I just used some washers, nuts, and all thread to make mine.

Re: (mgags7)
ok, thanks.. I guess I'm stucking using the OEM type bearing, and making myself a tool, and setting the preload with shims.
FWIW some hondas have the normal ball bearing type, like some of the ITR's but they are a different size
