Purchased a Sandcraft carrier bearing kit, install everything as per there instructions. When I went to install the front shaft I installed the bolt through the front diff shaft and went to install the 2 carrier bearing bolts in the carrier bearing and they don't line up. Almost a 1/4 inch from lining up. can the front diff be moved forward by loosing the 2 mounting bolts? Not sure what the problem could be.I rechecked everything I installed from them and its all correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Recently had SandCraft rebuild my front diff. I have an XP4K and there are 4 mounting bolts on it. Not much adjustment in those holes. Good luck. Dave

You might get a 1/16" movement by doing that but it'll probably be more like 1/32". Its pretty standard bolt clearance on those holes on the brackets and the holes that go through the diff.

I purchased sandcraft driveline cb combo followed instructions to a T and can’t get these holes on the bracket to light up with threaded holes on cb. I even have the prop shaft slid past the hole where the pin goes they front diff. It’s far foreword as I can get it and for the life of me can’t get holes to line up...
