ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT
Pinion gear shim
1. Assembly the pinion height gauge with
the drive shaft and bearing as shown in
the illustration.
Pinion height gauge:
90890-06702
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 nut:
50 Nm (5.0 m • kgf, 36 ft • lb)
3. Measure the Mv3 (measurement value
of between the pinion and pinion height
gauge).
Digital caliper:
90890-06704
4. Use the following equation to calculate
the pinion shim thickness (T3).
Shim thickness (T3) =
Mv3 – 29.3 – P/100 (unit: mm)
Available shim thicknesses:
0.05, 0.08, 0.12, 0.30, and 0.50
mm
NOTE:
If the P value is negative (–), then add the P
value to the measurement.
