NOTE
•
Perform steps (38) and (39) only if a new pinion drive and drive gear set were installed. If old
pinion drive and ring gear set is installed, go to step (40).
•
The pinion cone variation number can be either 0.001 in. or 0.001 cm. For example, PC +4
equals +0.004 in., PC -.005 cm equals -0.005 cm.
(38) If pinion cone variation number recorded in step (15) of disassembly is negative, subtract it from the thickness of
the shims. If number is positive, add it to the thickness of the shims. Refer to Table 23-2 Pinion Cone Variation
Chart.
NOTE
The value obtained from step (38) is the thickness of the new shims to be installed. Use as
many shims as required to obtain the value from step (38).
(39) If pinion cone variation number recorded in step (19) of assembly is negative, subtract it from value of the
thickness of the shims. If number is positive, add it to the thickness of the shims. Refer to Table 23-2 Pinion
Cone Variation Chart.
