Then made a steel spacer between it and the outer bearing. Along with replacing the rubber compensators, I put .010 crush on the compensators. I have ridden it another 6,000 miles with no problems. And no you don't have to remove body to pull diff. just loosen belt adjusters and slide diff. out after removing starter and axles. About a 3-4 hour job with re-aligning and adjusting belt.
