loose 14 bolt backlash with used gears

[ponylake]

I am installing a new ARB in a 14 bolt and the measured backlash before I disassemble is .029 specs is .003-.012

I am reusing the same gears do I keep the loose backlash when I re install?

should I tighten it up? not sure with the used gears already run this way

I am an idiot, put a pipe wrench on the drive shaft and now I get .008!
