B4000 SE Regular Cab 4WD V6-4.0L OHV (1999)
10. Install Gauge Block (Front) SST 49 UN27 001 and Gauge Block (Rear) SST 49 UN27 002 onto Middle Pinion SST 49 8531 565.
11. Place SST assembly on a surface plate and set the dial indicator to zero.
12. Place Gauge Set SST 49 0727 570 on top of Gauge Block (Front) SST 49 UN27001.
13. Place the pointer of the dial indicator so that it contacts where the side bearing is installed in the housing. Measure the lowest position on the left
and right sides of the casing.
14. Add the right and left side measurements and divide by two to get the thickness dimension.
Specification: 0 mm (0 inch)
15. If not within specification, adjust the pinion height by selecting a shim which will bring the reading within specification.
Note:
-
If the drive pinion is marked with a plus (+) reading, this amount must be added to the thickness dimension.
-
If the drive pinion is marked with a minus (-) reading, this amount must be added to the thickness dimension.
-
The rear bearing must be the exact same as the one used in the previous steps.
16. Measure the oil slinger/selective shim with a micrometer to verify the oil slinger/selective shim thickness.
17. Use a press and Pinion Bearing Cone Replacer SST 49 UN01 036 to press the pinion bearing until it is firmly seated on the pinion and pinion
shim.
