tapered roller bearing.
8 Install the drive shaft components
and tighten the pinion gear nut.
Pinion gear nut:
25 Nm (2.5 m•kg, 18 ft•lb)
8 Attach the pinion height gauge 1
onto the other pinion height gauge 2
as shown.
Pinion height gauge:
YB-34232-1 1
YB-34232-2 2
Driver rod:
YB-06229 3
8 Measure the clearance a with a
thickness gauge and determine the
proper shim to use.
