shaft assembly.<br />

A. Rotate the input shaft in each direction and<br />

push the fork or flange toward the bearing<br />

cage. This ensures that the input shaft assembly<br />

in differential.<br />

B. Use a dial indicator with a magnetic base or<br />

a clamp base to inspect the clearance of the<br />

input bearing. Verify that the pointer of the dial<br />

indicator is against the top of the input shaft.<br />

Set the dial indicator to ZERO. Figure 5.85.<br />

PLATE<br />

C. Use a pry bar and a support to push the fork or<br />

the flange. Read the dial indicator. The reading<br />

must be 0.002-0.008-inch (0.050-0.200 mm).<br />

Figure 5.86.<br />

• If the clearance of the input bearing is not<br />

0.002-0.008-inch (0.050-0.200 mm), add or remove<br />

shims from the shim pack. Repeat Step<br />

5 through Step 9.<br />
