a. Position the middle gears with the appropri-
ate shim(s) that has had its respective thick-
ness calculated from information marked on
the crankcase, bearing housings, and pinion
gears.
b. To find middle drive pinion gear shim thick-
ness "A", use the following formula.
Middle drive pinion gear shim thickness
"A" = "e" + "d" - "b" - "c" - "a"
"a" = a numeral (usually a decimal number)
on the bearing housing is either added to or
subtracted from "0.6"
"b" = 17.0
"c" = 55.0
"d" = a numeral (usually a decimal number)
on the crankcase (right) specifies a thickness
of "65.0"
"e" = a numeral (usually a decimal number)
on the crankcase (left) specifies a thickness
of "9.0"
Example:
If the bearing housing is marked "-02",
"a" is 0.58
