EXB diff shim location options

[Jamart85]

Have an EXB diff taken apart and adding the 13x16mm shim on the outside of the diff ring by the bearing is a bear (Dad joke).
Have some 8x12.7mm shims that fit in between the diff ring and bearing. This should work the same as the 13x16mm shim right? Any cons to this?

Also would adding a shim between the outdrive and bearing have any benefit? Maybe keep the bearing cleaner?

Should do the job. I like that better than fiddling with getting shims on the outside of the bearing and at the same time INSIDE the diff house.

It fit fine in the diff case. Was even able to put a larger 6.2x13.7mm shim on the outside bearing, covers the bearing more. Sorry for the bad pic. Couldn't get my phone to focus

Yeah and if you're not careful, you'll bend it or even cut yourself on it trying to install it. Did that once
