(14) Measure t h e drive p i n i o n gear depth o f mesh
( w i t h t h e r i n g gear). Place t h e p i n i o n h e i g h t block
tool on t h e face o f t h e drive p i n i o n gear (Fig. 35).
Place t h e arbor a n d disc tools i n t o t h e d i f f e r e n t i a l
b e a r i n g cradles i n t h e differential housing (Fig. 36).
Place t h e gauge block tool w i t h t h e d i a l indicator
tool on the lowest step of the p i n i o n h e i g h t block tool
(Fig. 38). Ensure t h a t the gauge block tool is r e s t i n g
f i r m l y on the lowest step of the p i n i o n h e i g h t block
tool and "zero" the d i a l indicator pointer.
(15) W i t h the d i a l indicator pointer "zeroed", move
the gauge block tool t o w a r d the arbor tool u n t i l t h e
t i p o f the d i a l indicator plunger contacts t h e arbor
tool ( F i g . 38). Slide t h e gauge block tool ( w i t h t h e
d i a l indicator) across and back and f o r t h along t h e
arbor tool w h i l e observing the d i a l indicator pointer.

(16) I f the measurement indicates t h a t t h e actual
depth variance is w i t h i n 0.002 i n c h (0.05 m m ) of the
depth variance etched into the drive p i n i o n gear face,
i t is acceptable.
(17) I f t h e drive p i n i o n gear actual depth variance
is w i t h i n t h e specified tolerance, continue w i t h t h e
differential assembly. I f the actual depth variance is
not w i t h i n t h e specified tolerance, correct t h e s h i m
thickness accordingly and t h e n re-measure the depth
variance
