your still working on that?
it is easiest to just take out the carrier, and do it when its right in front of you.

RE: spider gears

I always just line them up 90* and slide the pinion shaft through to make sure they are straight. pull the shaft back ou hold them in place and spin them around maybe 45 degrees, slide the little shims in there and go the rest of the way. 8.8s are one of the easier ones to deal with.
