Power Train Disassembly & Assembly
Installing the Drive Pinion,
Bearing Cage and Shim Pack
into the Carrier
NOTE : If a new drive pinion and ring gear set is
installed, or if the depth of the drive pinion has to be
adjusted, calculate the thickness of the shim pack.
Refer to the procedure “Adjusting Shim Pack
Thickness for the pinion Cage (Depth of Pinion)” on
page 24.
1. Select the correct shim pack between the bearing
cage and carrier.
2. Apply Loctite® 518 Gasket Eliminator to face of
carrier.
3. Align the oil slots in the shims with oil slots in the
bearing cage and carrier. The use of guide studs
will help align the shims.
NOTE : If the pack is made from different thickness
shims, install the thinnest shims on both sides of the
pack for maximum sealing.
4. Apply Loctite® 518 Gasket Eliminator to top of
shim pack.
Do not hit steel parts with a steel hammer during
removal and disassembly procedures. Striking
parts with a hammer can cause the parts to break
and result in serious personal injury.
5. Install the drive pinion and bearing cage into the
carrier. If necessary, use a rubber, plastic or
leather mallet to hit the assembly into position.
6. Install the bearing cage to carrier capscrews and
washers. Tighten capscrews to a torque of 70 to
110 lb•ft (90 to 150 N•m)
