remove existing shims from drive pinion shaft. See Fig. 43. Go to step
4). If replacing drive pinion and/or pinion bearings, install large
pinion roller bearing to drive pinion. Go to next step.
3) Remove large roller bearing race support. Place two .06"
(1.5 mm) thick shims onto drive pinion shaft. See Fig. 43. Install
large roller bearing race support. Go to next step.
4) Install output drive pinion gear and nut. See Figs. 36 and
44. Engage parking lug to lock drive pinion shaft. Tighten nut to 184
ft. lbs. (250 N.m). Go to next step.
