pinion gear double cup bearing issue

[Terry Burtz, Calif]

Please don't use a gasket between the torque tube and the banjo housing.
The gasket does not appear in the original Ford parts books.
The torque tube presses against the double-race to keep it in place.
If a gasket is used. there will be no press fit.

Thanks Terry, that's what I was thinking also but wasn't sure.
