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 />
