10. Calculate the thickness (E) of the required drive pinion front shim by the following formula, and then select a shim which most closely matches
this thickness. E = A + B + C-1/2D-100.0 mm (3.94 inches)
11. Fit the selected drive pinion front shim(s) to the drive pinion, and press-fit the drive pinion front bearing inner race by using special tool
MB990802.
