To determine the correct shim thickness, first subtract the reading of the previous measurement from the total differential case end play reading
obtained under Differential Case End Play Check. Then, add 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) to this amount. This is the correct thickness shim to place
on the hub. If additional shimming is necessary, beyond what the hardened differential bearing shim can provide, select and install a different
thickness outboard spacer.

11. Using the special tools, install the differential bearing.

Place the special tool on the differential bearing to protect it during the installation of the opposite bearing.

Using the special tool, drive the differential bearing onto the hub.
