8. NOTE: Drive pinion bearing adjustment shims must be flat and clean.
NOTE: A slight drag should be felt for correct drive pinion bearing adjustment shim selection. Do not attempt to force the drive pinion bearing
adjustment shim between gauge block and gauge tube. This will minimize selection of a drive pinion bearing adjustment shim thicker than
required, which results in a deep tooth contact in final assembly of integral axle assemblies.
Use a drive pinion bearing adjustment shim as a gauge for drive pinion bearing adjustment shim selection.
^
After the correct drive pinion bearing adjustment shim thickness has been determined, remove all of the special tools.
9. Using the special tool and a shop press, drive the inner drive pinion bearing and drive pinion bearing adjustment shim until they are firmly seated
on the pinion shaft.
10. Install a new drive pinion collapsible spacer on the pinion shaft against the pinion shaft shoulder.
