Shimming Procedure/Shim
Selection
1. Press bearings into bores by outer ring to hard con-
tact with seat.
2. Install the lock collar and tighten to specifications;
then on final assembling, stake the lock collar
edge approximately 1.5 mm (0.060 in.) into the
lower oil channel.
3. Note the following shim selections (shims are
nominally 1.5 mm/0.060 in. thick):
A. Cover Side - add value A on the gear case hous-
ing to value B on the gear case cover; then add
1.5 mm (0.060 in.). This will give you the
proper shim thickness.
NOTE: When shimming a rear gear case, add
value A to value B.
B. Gear Case Side - install a 1.3-1.4 mm
(0.050-0.055 in.) shim and tighten the bolts to
3.5-4.3 kg-m (25-31 ft-lb). Verify backlash to
be within
(0.011-0.015 in.) and end-play to be within a
range of 0.10-0.20 mm (0.004-0.008 in.). If not
within specification range, reselect shim until
backlash specification range can be verified.
4. Prior to final assembling, apply molybdenum dis-
ulfide grease to all oil seal lips.

5. Prior to final assembling, prelubricate journal on
pinion assembly with SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear

3. Install the pinion gear assembly into the housing.
Using the 48 mm Internal Hex Socket (p/n
0444-104), secure the pinion gear assembly with
the existing lock collar. Tighten to specifications.
NOTE: On a front differential, the lock collar has
right-hand threads. On a rear gear case, the lock
collar has left-hand threads.
