per tapered roller bearing and cup, or gear housing were replaced, start off by installing
a 0.038 in. (0.96 mm) shim(s), for the upper tapered roller bearing.
NOTE: If the original shims were retained (or measurement known) and none of the

NOTE: For ease of installation, glue the washer to the pinion gear, using 3M Adhesive,
Bellows Adhesive, or equivalent.
NOTE: If the backlash may have to be changed, it is recommended that Loctite 271 NOT
be applied to the pinion nut UNTIL the backlash setting is finalized. DO NOT reuse the
old pinion nut. Install a NEW pinion nut after backlash is finalized.
NOTE: Do not install the lower tapered bearing cup or shim(s) at this time.
