This made me cringe a little bit. i was recently taught a trick for installing those shims while i did the carrier in my differential. Use a 5 gallon bucket to hold the differential upright, as you're tapping in the shims rotate the gears to evenly preload the bearings. Everything should seat properly and will be a hell of a lot easier this way. After that just torque the caps down and then get your engagement pattern with grease.
