Hazard Alert Messages<br />

Read and observe all Warning and Caution<br />

hazard alert messages in this publication. They<br />

provide information that can help prevent serious<br />

personal injury, damage to components, or<br />

both.<br />

WARNING<br />

To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe<br />

eye protection when you perform vehicle maintenance<br />

or service.<br />

Note all warnings and cautions provided by the<br />

press manufacturer to avoid damage to components<br />

and serious personal injury.<br />

Installation<br />

Installing the Drive Pinion, Adjusting<br />

Pinion Depth and Preload Bearings<br />

There are two procedures for adjusting pinion<br />

depth. The procedure in this manual is to install<br />

the pinion, bearings and calculated shim pack<br />

into the case WITHOUT the helical gear and<br />

two spacers. After you check the tooth contact<br />

patterns to determine the correct pinion position,<br />

you must disassemble the differential to<br />

install the helical gear and two spacers.<br />

An optional procedure is to install the pinion,<br />

bearings and calculated shim pack into the<br />

case WITH the helical gear and two spacers.<br />

After you check the tooth contact patterns to<br />

determine the correct pinion position, you only<br />

need to disassemble the differential if an adjustment<br />

is necessary. Both procedures are acceptable.<br />

Adjustment<br />

Shim Pack Thickness for a New Drive<br />

Pinion<br />

NOTE:<br />

Use this procedure if you’ll install a new<br />

drive pinion and ring gear set or if you have<br />

to adjust the depth of the drive pinion. If the<br />

pinion depth shims are misplaced during differential<br />

repair, use 0.030 inch (0.76 mm) for<br />

145 Series differential and 0.050 inch (1.27<br />

mm) for 160 Series differential for the initial<br />

pinion position. Figure 5.1.<br />

1. Use a micrometer to measure the thickness<br />

of the shim pack that was removed from the<br />

differential differential. Record the measurement.<br />

2. Find the pinion cone (PC) variation number<br />

on the drive pinion you’ll replace. Record the<br />

number. Figure 5.3.<br />

• PC+3, PC-3, +3 ou -3 = 0.003”<br />

• PC +.03, PC 0.03 mm, +0.03 mm ou -0.03 =<br />

0.03 mm.<br />
