21. Pinion height setting procedure:

l

'A' = Nominal pinion height setting, 74.390. 

l

'B'  = Setting block height. 

l

'C'  = Head height setting. 

l

'C' = 'A' - 'B'. Subtract nominal pinion height 
'A' from setting block height 'B' (on side of 
setting block).  

l

Example:  74.390 - 73.130 = 1.26 mm 
(2.929' - 2.88' = 0.049'). Therefore pinion 
head height reading is 1.260 mm 

±

 0.025 

mm (0.049' 

±

 0.001').

CAUTION: Setting block height must be 
checked using figures on side of block.

22. Align setting gauge LRT-51-018/7 to setting 

block, rock gauge to obtain minimum reading. If 
reading is lower than required reading, 
decrease shim size. If reading is higher than 
required reading, increase shim size.

23. Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, 

remove bolt and washer.  Remove pinion 
flange.

24. Remove pinion, collect tail bearing and tail 

bearing shim.

25. Remove pinion head bearing outer race and 

shim. Discard shim. Ensure bearing race 
recess is clean and free from burrs.

26. Fit calculated shim, and using LRT-51-018/4 fit 

head bearing outer race.

27. Fit pinion, pinion tail bearing and tail bearing 

shim.

28. Fit pinion flange and bolt and washer. Using 

LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, tighten 
bolt to 100 Nm (74 lbf.ft).

29. Rotate pinion in both directions to settle 

bearings.

30. Recheck pinion Torque to Turn, adjust if 

necessary.

31. Recheck pinion head height.
32. Using LRT-51-003 to restrain pinion flange, 

remove bolt and washer.  Remove pinion 
flange.

33. Discard bolt.

34. Using LRT-51-010 fit pinion seal.
35. Ensure spacer and tail bearing are correctly 

located.

36. Fit pinion, pinion flange and washer.
37. Fit new pinion flange bolt and tighten to 100 Nm 

(74 lbf.ft).

38. Lightly oil differential bearings.
39. Ensure spring dowels are fitted in bearing caps.
40. Fit differential bearing outer races and locate 

differential assembly into housing.

41. Fit bearing caps and tighten bolts to 10 Nm (7.5 

lbf.ft).
