INSTALLATION
NOTE: Pinion depth shims are placed between the rear pinion bearing cone and the pinion head to achieve proper ring and pinion gear mesh. If ring
and pinion gears are reused, the pinion oil slinger/depth shim should not require replacement. Refer to Adjustments (Pinion Gear Depth) to select the
proper thickness shim before installing pinion gear.
