The use of a dial indicator, pinion gauge set and gauge block are
required for this procedure.
5) Record the amount the indicator moves in a "+" (plus) or
"-" (minus) direction from zero. Remove gauging assembly and pinion
from carrier. Check rear face of pinion for the machining correction
figure.
6) If pinion is marked "+" (plus), SUBTRACT amount specified
on pinion from dial indicator reading; if marked "-" (minus), ADD
amount to indicator reading.
NOTE: Figures on pinion are hundredth millimeters.
7) Select correct pinion depth adjusting shim to be used for
reassembly by adding or subtracting the amount determined in steps 3)
through 5) from the thickness of the original pinion depth shim used
during gauging process. Position correct shim (from chart) on pinion
and install pinion bearing.
