Now put the new shim on the new pinion then heat up the bearing a little to expand it so that it will go onto the pinion shaft (pic114)make sure that you put the bearing on the right way (the big end of the bearing goes up against the pinion gear) with the shim in place and the bearing still hot steel rod to TAP the bearing down into place (pic115) the bearing should be tight up against the gear (pic116) now look at the face of the pinion gear (pic117) see the numbers? 2.5489” that is the setting depth of the pinion. Write it down!
Now put the pinion back into the differential (pic118) be careful not to hit the bearing race as you put the pinion back in..
