Finished setting the bearings on the pinion carrier (needed to remove one 0.1 mm shim.
Checked the interface of the pinion and crown gears with some blue paste. Everything looks fine there, and since the teeth already look very good, I reassembled without making any critical shimming adjustments to either the crown wheel or pinion.
Fit a new inner (larger) seal.
Fit new gaskets (greased on both sides for easy future removal, as I do on nearly all gaskets).
Cover torqued to 18 foot pounds.
