B3000 SE Regular Cab 4WD V6-3.0L OHV (1998)
4. Install the original oil slinger and rear bearing onto the SST.
5. Install the SST 49 UN27 004, and O-ring to the SST 49 8531 565 and install them into the rear axle casing.
6. Install the SST 49 UN27 003, yoke and washer.
7. Tighten the nut on the SST 49 8531565 making sure the yoke can be turned by hand.
8. Install the SSTs 49 UN27 001 and T76P-4020-A13 or equivalent onto the SST 49 8531 565).
9. Place the SST on a surface plate and set the dial indicator to zero.
10. Place the SST 49 0727 570 on top of the SST 49 UN27 001.
11. Place the pointer of the dial indicator so that it contacts where the side bearing is installed in the housing. Measure the lowest position on the left
and right sides of the casing.
12. Add the right and left side measurements and divide by two to get the thickness dimension.
Specification: 0 mm (0 inch)
13. If not within specification, adjust the pinion height by selecting a shim which will bring the reading within specification.
NOTE:
^
If the drive pinion is marked with a plus (+) reading, this amount must be added to the thickness dimension.
^
If the drive pinion is marked with a minus reading, this amount must be added to the thickness dimension.
^
The rear bearing must be the exact same as the one used in the previous steps.
14. Measure the oil slinger/selective shim with a micrometer to verify the oil slinger/selective shim thickness.
15. Use a press and SST to press the pinion bearing until it is firmly seated on the pinion and pinion shim.
