An example of how the above procedure should be
applied to calculate pinion depth using markings on
pinion is as follows:
1. Height block dimension + 1.4840.
2. Control figure (plus 10) converted to f -
3. Difference between steps 1 and 2 it
1.4801.
4. Nominal figure 2 - 1.4680.
5. Shim thickness required ?r .0121.
6. Shim to closest thickness + .012.
4. Remove differential side bearing caps, gauging
arbor, gauge plate and pinion bearings.
5. Remove the rear pinion bearing outer race using
a brass drift.
6. Install pinion depth shims selected in Step (f) in
the rear pinion bearing outer race bore and install the
rear pinion bearing outer race using installer J-78 18
and driver handle J-8092. See Figure 4B-18.

8. Lubricate pinion bearings and assemble the drive
pinion, collapsible spacer, front pinion bearing, oil
deflector plate and barrel spline sleeve in the differ-
ential carrier.
9. Thread barrel spline sleeve installer J-22938 onto
the drive pinion and draw the spline sleeve onto the
pinion until there are suflicient threads of the pinion
