ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
Pinion gear shim
1. Assembly the pinion height gauge with
the drive shaft and bearing as shown in
the illustration.
NOTE:
Add a 1/4 turn to each of the butterfly nut
after it touches fixing plate.
2. Install the pinion on the drive shaft, and
tighten the nut to the specified torque.
Pinion height gauge:

Pinion nut:
50 Nm (5.0 m • kgf, 36 ft • lb)
3. Measure the Mv3 (measurement value
of between the pinion and pinion height
gauge).
4. Use the following equation to calculate
the pinion shim thickness (T3).
NOTE:
If the P value is negative (–), then add the P
value to the measurement.
Digital caliper:
90890-06704
Shim thickness (T3) =
Mv3 – 29.3 – P/100 (unit: mm)
Available shim thicknesses:
0.05, 0.08, 0.12, 0.30, and 0.50
