Manual Description
If the carrier turning torque is not within the specification range, increase or decrease the total thickness of the side bearing adjusting washers until the turning torque is correct. If the turning torque is less than the specified range, install washers of greater thickness; if the turning torque is greater than the specification, install thinner washers. Record the total amount of washer thickness required for the correct carrier side bearing preload.
Remove the carrier from the final drive housing, saving the selected preload washers for later use during the assembly of the final drive unit. Then turn the front pinion bearing pilot, J34309-5, to secure the bearing in its proper position. The exact measure you get with your gauges is the thickness of the adjusting washer required.
Set your selected, correct pinion bearing preload adjusting washer aside for use when assembling the pinion gear and bearings into the final drive. Now, position the side bearing discs, J25269-4, and arbor firmly into the side bearing bores. The first one refers to the pinion and ring gear as a matched set and should be the same as the number on the ring gear.
