I could stand it no longer and cracked open the rebuild kit. I discovered the thrust washers were included. I did not immediately find them before and ended up ordering a pair from Cdan. So if anyone needs extras....
I found the correct bearing race and easily set it in place.
Now this is where I got myself into trouble. I have read the FSM and I had to dis-assemble the case (what had not already been done for me) but the next step in the FSM was to replace the front output shaft oil seal. I could not figure out why since I recalled something was supposed to go in there but, after all, it is the FSM, so I did it anyway all the time knowing I was making a mistake!
Call it hungover, been off work too long, whatever but the FSM tells you to do this before you put in the new bearing. I do not know why I do not listen to myself. I took the seal back out an luckily had not buggered it.
