6. Utilize pinion shims as the gauge for shim selection. This will minimize errors in attempting to stack feeler gauge stock together or simple addition
errors in calculating correct shim thickness. A slight drag should be felt on the pinion shim for correct selection. Do not force the pinion shim
between the Gauge Block T80T4020-F42 and the Gauge Tube D81T4020-F51 or equivalent. This will minimize selection of a pinion shim thicker
than required which results in a deep tooth contact in final assembly of integral axles.
NOTE: The same differential pinion bearing used in the following procedure must be used in final assembly of the axle.
NOTE: Make sure the press load is not applied to the bearing cage.
