Ok, it was as I suspected. The Pinion side bearings center race was punched out from the load. The other pinion bearing appears to be in fair shape.
I have a pretty good feeling about these new gears. The ring looks alot tougher compared to the old one.
Here's where the difference is! Notice how these pinions compare? I like how tough the new one looks. The teeth are much bigger and straight cut. I think this has a chance. LOL
