PINION POSITION SHIM SELECTION

Install height setting gauge master block Pt. no. 2704

5890 3317 over the inner bearing cup seat.

Install dial gauge on Pinion height setting gauge

Pt. no. 2704 5890 3313.

Set the dial gauge to 0 (zero), on a surface plate at

highest point.

Install special tool depth gauge on differential side

bearing housing.

Install dial gauge, such that the plunger is in contact

with pinion master.

Rock the special tool depth gauge.

Record only the reading when the indicator is at the

highest point. Let it be 'x'

To calculate the shim thickness proceed as follows.

Shim thickness required = x - etched value on

pinion (when etched+ve)

= x + etched value on

pinion (when etched-ve)

Assembly pinion bearing cup
