4. Check the endplay of the pinion shaft, with the
pinion side facing down, to ensure an accurate
adjustment. Rotate the shaft two complete
revolutions to seat all components (bearing
rollers in cage), and install a dial indicator to
measure the shaft endplay. Use a screwdriver or
punch to pry upwards on the pinion gear to obtain
an endplay reading; allowable endplay is 0.002
inch to 0.008 inch.
Remove the snap ring, and add the required
thickness of shims to achieve the correct endplay.
NOTICE: The shims must be sandwiched between
the two spacer washers to protect them from the
bearing and the snap ring groove.
Recheck the endplay as described above to
ensure the assembled endplay is correct.
5. Apply sealant to the dust cap, 1, and drive it into
the left side of the housing.
6. Install the oil slinger, 1, into the groove on the right
end of the pinion shaft. Be careful not to scratch
the sealing surface on the shaft, as this will cause
the shaft seal to leak, causing drive module
failure. The slinger is bidirectional in nature, and
may be installed in either direction on the shaft.
NOTICE: Usecautiontopreventthetipsofthe
slinger from contacting the sealing surface on the
end of the shaft, or seal failure will occur.
