What chrisx probably meant was that you can't set the pre-load with ring gear on once pinion shaft is mounted (which it obviously is in your case). Normally diff pre-load is set as first step in trans rebuild followed by pinion shaft install.
What you are setting out to do is a real chore in the car. Unless a bearing was really damaged, like ready to spin the race in the cap, I wouldn't bother changing them. They all get a few dimples on the races from trash in the lube but I have only ever seen one fail and it wasn't what brought the gearbox down. It was probably consequential damage from primary failure elsewhere. I've known of a very reputable shop that just swapped in a new race in a pinch for a low-budget customer. Car still rolls fine several years later.
