Yep, you got it.  Here's a quote from my teardown page that may help: "If you're going whole hog
and renewing diff and/or pinion bearings, don't worry about prying out the races (as per the
special tool shown in Bentley). Pop the case half in a hot gas grill...and the races fall right
out. [Literally.  More often than not, they are laying on the grate.] Or may require a face-down
slap onto some 2x4's.  Yep, that works fine.  Slap it hard.

No, that's not the issue, it's a fit sort of thing and offline measuring typically won't work for
that.

Man, I sure hope I get that reassembly (and video) done at/by Cincy...It's easy.
