amount is determined, add 0.36 mm (0.015 inch) to the amount for Models 60 and 70 or 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) for Model 80. This is the required
amount of shims to be placed on the hub of the drive pinion side of the differential case.
^
For example, the total differential case end play on a Model 60 was 2.30 mm (0.091 inch). The reading earlier was 1.14 mm (0.045 inch), and
when subtracted from 2.30 mm (0.091 inch) equals 1.16 mm (0.046 inch). Add 0.36 mm (0.015 inch), to give 1.52 mm (0.061 inch) of pinion
shims to be placed on the side of the drive pinion of the differential case.
10. Install required amount of shims on the drive pinion side of the differential case.
11. Install the bearing cone on the hub of the drive pinion side of the differential case.
1
Place the Step Plate on the ring gear side bearing to protect the bearing during the installation of the drive pinion side bearing.
