Having issues figuring out which pinion bearings I should buy. It seems to be almost impossible to get an actual frickin' part number for the damn things, or a real comparison, but here goes:

I've got a 98 Q45 ring and pinion, 3.69:1, and i want to install it in my non-VLSD pumpkin, with a KAAZ diff. While it's all in pieces, I want to throw in new bearings, just for the fun of it. I can get either bearings for the Q45 or for my 240, but I don't know if they are the same. Does it matter which I use? Are the pinion shafts different sizes? I KNOW they are both R200's, but the Q45's is a R200V. The ones on the side should be for the 240, since the output shafts are standard, but the pinion is from a q45.

I've spent hours on boards searching, and googling, then searching some more. :smash: My head hurts. Someone with some knowledge HELP!

Thanks!
