The method Peter used is exactly what I did, and also observed the ring gear being high relative to the worm.? Unless the needle bearing needs to be replaced for other reasons, a much cheaper/easier way to raise the ring gear is to cut a shim out of whatever you have (brass/aluminum) to place under the bottom washer.? This is what I did.? Did it make any noticeable difference?? None that I could tell.
Also re: greasing the centre cylinder (or inner bore of the ring gear, same thing), I asked Scott about this once, and I quote: "... you can grease".
