The factory uses a "0.40mm constant" preload. In rotational torque, it's about 40 in lb for new bearings or something over 15 in lbs for used bearings. If your used bearings are below that amount with the factory shims, they're worn. Or the side cover is...not where it once was.
Backlash is engraved on the ring gear, in mm (The "f" number). The factory set the gear sets up for quietest operation, not strength, so there's that. Double check your work with the yellow gear marking compound (NOT blue dykem or anything like that. Yellow gear marking compound ONLY)
If you're not using the factory backlash tools, approximate the heel of the ring gear (the biggest diameter part, the outer edge).
