ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)
(7) Shims thinner than 12.65 mm listed in the
chart are common to both the transfer shaft and out-
put shaft bearings.
(8) Use tool L-4434 to remove the retaining nut
and washer. To remove the output shaft gear use tool
L-4407.
(9) Remove the two gauging shims and install the
proper shim combination, making sure to install the
12.65, 13.15, or 13.65 mm shim first. Use grease to
hold the shims in place. Install the output shaft gear
and bearing assembly.
(10) Install the retaining nut and washer, and
torque to 271 N·m (200 ft. lbs.).
(11) Using an inch-pound torque wrench, check the
turning torque. The torque should be between 3
and 8 inch-pounds.
(12) If the turning torque is too high, install a

0.05mm (0.002 inch) thicker shim. If the turning
torque is too low, install a 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) thin-
