replaced all the bearings and oppted for the obx lsd now i have a huge delema i have been trying to get the case to sit back on the assembly for over a week now
with no success now i know that some people say the 4 inch shift fork hands up but what i have found is that if i remove the locking washer and the bearing on top of that washer the case fits all the way down but if i install this bearing and washer back on the main shaft it will not drop at all

Make sure the finger tab on the top of the mainshaft is in the right direction. If it's not something will break or the case will never go on. Make sure the bearings are lubed, I use Honda MTF. Oh and be patient and leave the hammer alone when doing this.

You did swap the 4th and 5th gear main AND counter shaft gears, right? I've seen people only swap one side before

Take a picture of your gear sets as well.

Make sure the 3-4 sleeve is on the correct way also

There are quite a few things "hacked" in that video...

 

How much depth is there between the top of the mainshaft ball bearing and the top of the mainshaft?

 

You talking from the top of the mainshaft to the top of the inner race?? It's maybe .5mm or so

 

Not to ideal spec....his actual clearance.

 

you got something upside down on one of the shafts. this happened to me once before. It took a few minutes to realize what was going on.
