PINION POSITION SHIM SELECTION

1. Pinion position shim selection can also be

done using a special tool, in the absence of

removed ring/pinion gear.

2. Install pinion height set master block which is

part of tool

(Part no. 289458903504)

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. 289458903503)

4. Install pinion height set gauge with dial gauge

on side bearing seats. Ensure that plunger of

dial gauge touches top face of pinion height

set master.

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)
