This dimension for front live axle will be different.
On the bottom face of pinion, a number is etched.
It can be a plus (+) number, a minus (-) number or
Zero (0).
Required pinion shim selection is achieved with
help of this number.
If alphabet "m" appears on pinion face shim,
selection has to be done in mm (Metric).
If alphabet "m" does not appear on pinion face,
shim selection has to be done in inches (English).
Shims with different thicknesses are available for
selection.
Use tables on next page as a guide for selecting
correct thickness of shims either for addition or for
subtraction from old shim pack.
Note:
Please observe the marking on pinion. If ‘m’ is
found etched on the face, refer table B. If not refer
table A
