a. For proper positioning of the pinion it
may be necessary to adjust the shim thickness
b e h i n d the forward bearing retainer. To
determine the shim thickness, proceed as
follows:
(1). Take distance "D" from the housing
mounting face to the imaginary intersection
of the two shafts, which is stamped on the
mounting face (see figures 8-14 and 8-15).
(2). From "D" subtract mounting distance
"A", (etched on rear of pinion) (see figure
8-16) plus width across bearing races "B"
(see NOTE below). The remainder equals the
shim thickness.
Example: D - (A + B) = Shim Thickness
FIGURE 8-11.
NOTE FOR DIMENSION "B": To measure the
bearing thickness, insert bearing cone into
cup. Measure the thickness with a micrometer
(see figure 8-17).
