ring/pinion gear.
2. Install pinion height set master block which is part
of tool
(Part No. 287058903310)
over pinion inner
bearing cup seat.
3.
Set the dial gauge to 0
(zero)
, on surface plate.
Install dial gauge on pinion height gauge which is
again a part of tool
(Part No. 287058903309)

side bearing seats. Ensure that plunger of dial
gauge touches top face of pinion height set mas-
ter.
5. Rock the depth gauge. Record the maximum
reading on gauge needle. Let it be X'
6. To calculate shim thickness procedure as follows:
Shim thickness required = X– etched value on
pinion
(when etched POSITIVE)
Shim thickness required = X + etched value on
pinion
(when etched NEGATIVE)
