We got as little into it as possible, didn't even really end up using all the parts I got. My buddy had debated on leaving the seal, but I said since we had it we might as well replace it even though the other one looked like it was fine. There weren't any shims under the input shaft so I guessing that Cochran screwed me on that deal and because of it then ate the pilot. We left the bearing and race because they were in good shape, threw it back together and as of now seems totally better. I know it is not a long term fix but wanted to spend as little time and money at the moment since both the Blazer and the Monte are always taking it

So the problem was no shim at all and the fix was to shim it?
