9. Using the special tool, install the differential bearing on the differential ring gear side of the differential case.
10. Determine the correct shim thickness, and place the shim on differential case hub on the drive pinion side.
To determine the correct shim thickness, first subtract the reading of the previous measurement from the total differential case end play reading
obtained under Differential Case End Play Check. Then, add 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) to this amount. This is the correct thickness shim to place on
the hub. If additional shimming is necessary, beyond what the hardened differential bearing shim can provide, select and install a different
thickness outboard spacer.
