Well I need more help! The pinion bearing arrived today but it is 3/4" wide and is a deep groove ball bearing. That means it will not slide within the outer race and as the depth in the D-type axle casing is controlled by a stop peg it will not allow in/out slight adjustment of the pinion when setting up the CW&P. I can get a sliding roller bearing of the same size albeit at a higher price. Also the 3/4" width instead of the original 5/8" width may affect the available in/out adjustment available as the angular contact bearing housing may not leave space for the shims. (I have the separate housing configuration that holds the two angular contact bearings discussed above and in a D-type axle. It would be good to talk to someone who has put the new 1" pinion gear shaft* into a D-type axle.
(* the CW&P are new to the 5.67 ratio with the new tooth form but pinion shaft 1" diameter for the gear bearing instead of the old 1.125")
