I am still in the process of getting my Dana 30 front end rebuilt. I had the unit sandblasted so I could paint. I had it pretty sealed up but of course 
got inside.
While cleaning it up I removed the pinion and noticed the races are a bit scarred. Since I am in there I decided to replace the inner and outer pinion bearings.
My question is, do I need to re-shim it or can I use the existing shim stacks and simply install the new bearings or do I need to reset up the pinion gear?
Thank you.
