PINION BEARING & CUP INSTALLATION
1. Install new differential drive pinion bearing cups with Pinion Bearing Cup Replacer T71P-4616-A. Make sure differential drive pinion bearing
cups are properly seated in their bores. If a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge can be inserted between differential drive pinion bearing cup,
differential drive pinion bearing cup is not properly seated.
NOTE: When replacing differential drive pinion bearing cups also replace differential pinion bearings.
DRIVE PINION SEAL INSTALLATION
NOTE: The same differential pinion bearing used in this procedure must be used in final assembly of the rear axle assembly:
1. Place the drive pinion bearing adjustment shim on the pinion and press the differential pinion bearing assembly until it is firmly seated on the shaft
with Pinion Bearing Cone Replacer T53T-4621-C.
