22. Align setting gauge LRT-51-018/7 to setting block, rock gauge to obtain minimum reading. If reading is lower than required reading, decrease shim size. If reading is higher than required reading, increase shim size.
23. Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, remove bolt and washer. Remove pinion flange.
24. Remove pinion, collect tail bearing and tail bearing shim.
25. Remove pinion head bearing outer race and shim. Discard shim. Ensure bearing race recess is clean and free from burrs.
26. Fit calculated shim, and using LRT-51-018/4 fit head bearing outer race.
27. Fit pinion, pinion tail bearing and tail bearing shim.
28. Fit pinion flange and bolt and washer. Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, tighten bolt to 100 Nm (74 lbf.ft).
29. Rotate pinion in both directions to settle bearings.
30. Recheck pinion Torque to Turn, adjust if necessary.
31. Recheck pinion head height.
32. Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, remove bolt and washer. Remove pinion flange.
33. Discard bolt.

34. Using LRT-51-010 fit pinion seal.
35. Ensure spacer and tail bearing are correctly located.
36. Fit pinion, pinion flange and washer.
37. Fit new pinion flange bolt and tighten to 100 Nm (74 lbf.ft).
38. Lightly oil differential bearings.
39. Ensure spring dowels are fitted in bearing caps.
40. Fit differential bearing outer races and locate differential assembly into housing.
41. Fit bearing caps and tighten bolts to 10 Nm (7.5 lbf.ft).

42. Fit adjusting nuts, tighten crown wheel side nut to 22 Nm (16 lbf.ft). Ensure opposing nut is loose.
43. Position DTI to check crown wheel backlash. Adjust opposing nut to obtain correct crown wheel backlash.
44. Rotate pinion in both directions to settle bearings.
45. Measure in 3 places to obtain correct crown wheel backlash. NOTE: Crown wheel backlash should be within 0.076 mm - 0.177 mm (0.003' - 0.007').
46. Align adjusting nuts to next roll pin slot, do not loosen nuts to align slots.
