PINION GEAR SHIMMING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: This procedure is required only when replacing the front or rear pinion bearings and races or the
ring and pinion gears.
NOTE: To perform this procedure, all parts must be clean and the bearings lightly lubricated.

Setting the Pinion Gear Depth

This formula is used to calculate the amount of shims that are required:
C - B - A + (DV) = Pinion Shim (mm)
DV = The number on the face of the pinion gear.
A = The distance in millimeters from the face of the
pinion gear to the top of the inner pinion bearing race
(see below)
B = 54.
C = The number on the edge of the differential side plate
closest to the input shaft (see next page).
D = The number on the edge of the differential side plate
farthest from the input shaft (see next page).
E = The distance in millimeters from the rear of the drive
housing to the face of the pinion gear (see next page).
Once a shim has been selected and the pinion gear is installed,
confirm that:
E - D = B + (DV)
