4. Check the endplay of the pinion shaft, with the
pinion side facing down, to ensure an accurate
adjustment. Rotate the shaft two complete revo-
lutions 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″ to 0.008″.
Remove the snap ring, and add the required
thickness of shims to achieve the correct end-
play.
NOTE: 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 en-
sure the assembled endplay is correct.

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 na-
ture, and may be installed in either direction on
the shaft.
IMPORTANT: Usecautiontopreventthetipsofthe
slinger from contacting the sealing surface on the
end of the shaft, or seal failure will occur.
