It's why I really prefer to use the gauge setup, and set the pinion depth at the recommended depth per the gear manufacture.

I'll take the pinion in and out a few times to get it spot on but at least I'm not taking the carrier in and out and changing side shims to boot.

When done correctly in this manor it's really not all that bad of a job. Once the pinion is where it's supposed to be, I don't touch it again, put my new bearings on with crush sleeve and send it home. Then I'll do the carrier and side back lash.
