REAR AXLE AND FINAL DRIVE

OVERHAUL

83. Position dial gauge centrally on pinion end face

with stylus registering on lowest point on one
differential bearing bore. Note dial gauge
deviation from zeroed setting.

84. Repeat on other bearing bore. Add together

readings, then halve sum to obtain mean
reading. Note whether stylus has moved up or
down from zeroed setting.

Example 1

Reading obtained LH side.............. + 0.1524mm
Reading obtained RH side............. - 0.0762mm

Add + 0.1524mm - 0.0762mm = + 0.0762mm

Divide by 2 (0.0762 divided by 2)= 0.0381mm

Therefore subtract 0.0381mm from shim thickness
behind pinion inner bearing track.

Example 2

Reading obtained LH side............. + 0.1524mm
Reading obtained RH side............ - 0.2032mm

Add + 0.1524mm - 0.2032mm = + 0.0508mm

Divide by 2 (0.0508 divided by 2)= 0.0254mm

Therefore add 0.0254mm from shim thickness behind
pinion inner bearing track.

85. Where stylus has moved down (85a), amount is

equivalent to thickness of shims that must be
removed from under pinion inner cup to bring
pinion down to nominal position. Where stylus
has moved up (85b), amount is equivalent to
additional thickness of shims required to bring
pinion up to nominal position.

Illustration A. Using setting gauge 18G191P.

Illustration B. Using universal setting block
LRT-54-503. This setting block has 3 setting heights.

Ensure that height marked 30.93 mm is used for this
differential.
