NOTE: The shim installed in the following step is used to regulate prop-shaft end-play. Use
the existing shim as a starting point ONLY if shafts, gears, or bearings were not
replaced.
If any of the components were replaced, use a .020 in. shim as a starting point. This shim
may need to be adjusted if the end-play is not within specifications (See “Checking Propeller
Shaft End-Play” later in this section).
