From Memory so it could be dubious!
The front cover should be fitted to preload the bearing a bit. (It's in the manual.)
Fit it by hand without gasket and check the clearance. Which you may find is all over the place.
I.E. The cover has been distorted by the 4 holding bolts.
Adjust clearance with different thickness of gasket, allowing for compression. If you need shims on the bearing , Mini diff are exactly the right dia.
What fun!
