7. Place the SST on the surface plate and set the dial indica-
tor to "Zero".
8. Place the SST atop the drive pinion model. Set the gauge
body atop the gauge block.
9. Place the feeler of the dial indicator so that it contacts where
the bearing inner race (side bearing) is installed in the car-
rier. Measure the lowest position on the left and right sides
of the carrier.
10. Add the two (left and right) values obtained in Step 9 and
divide the total by 2.

tion of a spacer.
Adjustment of drive pinion preload

creases.
• Install the spacer selected for the pinion height ad-
justment, being careful that the installation direc-
tion is correct.
