Note where Old and New Pinion Marking columns
intersect. Intersecting figure represents plus or
minus the amount needed.
Note the etched number on the face of the drive
pinion (–1, –2, 0, +1, +2, etc.). The numbers repre-
sent thousands of an inch deviation from the stan-
dard. If the number is negative, add that value to the
required thickness of the depth shim/oil slinger. If
the number is positive, subtract that value from the
thickness of the depth shim/oil slinger. If the number
is 0 no change is necessary.
