PINION GEAR HEIGHT
1. Make sure all parts are clean and that the bearings are well
lubricated.
2. Assemble the pinion gear beari ngs into the differential shim
selector tool [SST: — (J-34309)].
 Pinion front bearing; make sure the J-34309-3 pinion front
bearing seat is secured tightly against the J-34309-2 gauge
anvil. Then turn the pinion front bearing pilot, J-34309-7, to
secure the bearing in its proper position.
 Pinion rear bearing; the pinion rear bearing pilot, J-34309-8,
is used to center the pinion rear bearing only. The pinion rear
bearing locking seat, J-34309-4, is used to lock the bearing to
the assembly.
 Installation of J-34309-9 and J-34309-16; place a suitable
2.5 mm (0.098 in) thick plain washer between J-34309-9 and
J-34309-16. Both surfaces of J-34309-9 and J-34309-16 must
be parallel with a clearance of 2.5 mm (0.098 in).
3. Install the pinion rear bearing inner race into gear carrier. Then place the pinion preload shim selector tool, J-34309-1, gauge
screw assembly.
4. Assemble the pinion front bearing inner race and the J-34309-2 gauge anvil. Assemble them together with the J-34309-1 gauge
screw in gear carrier. Make sure that the pinion height gauge
plate, J-34309-16, turns a full 360 degrees. Tighten the two sec-
tions together by hand.

5. Turn the assembly several times to seat the bearings.
6. Measure the turning torque at the end of the J-34309-2 gauge
anvil using preload gauge [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)].
7. Place the J-34309-10 “R180A” pinion height adapter onto the gauge plate and tighten it by hand.
CAUTION:
Make sure all machined surfaces are clean.
8. Position the side bearing discs, J-25269-18, and arbor firmly into
the side bearing bores. Install the bearing caps and tighten bear-
ing cap mounting bolts to the specified torque. Refer to DLN-
176, "Exploded View".
9. Select the correct standard pinion height adjusting washer thick- ness. Select by using a standard gauge of 3 mm (0.12 in) and J-
34309-101 feeler gauge. Measure the distance between the J-
34309-11 pinion height adapter including the standard gauge
and the arbor.

10. Write down exact measurement (the value of feeler gauge).
11. Correct the pinion height washer size by referring to the “pinion head number”.
There are two numbers painted on the drive pinion. The first
one refers to the drive pinion and drive gear as a matched
set. This number should be the same as the number on the
drive gear. The second number is the “pinion head height
number”. It refers to the ideal pinion height from standard
for quietest operation. Use th e following chart to determine
the correct pinion height washer.
12. Select the correct pinion height adjusting washer. For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts information.
13. Remove the J-34309 differential shim selector tool from the final drive housing. Then disassemble to retrieve the pinion bearings.

4. If tooth contact is improperly adjusted, follow the procedure
below to adjust the pinion height [dimension (X)].
 If the tooth contact is near the face (face contact), or near theheel (heel contact), thicken pinion height adjusting washers to
move drive pinion closer to drive gear.
For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts infor-
mation.
 If the tooth contact is near the flank (flank contact), or near the toe (toe contact), thin pinion height adjusting washers to move
drive pinion farther from drive gear.
For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts infor-
mation.
BACKLASH
Before inspection and adjustment, drain gear oil.
1. Remove rear cover. Refer to DLN-204, "
Disassembly".
2. Fit a dial indicator to the drive gear face to measure the back- lash.
 If the backlash is outside of the specified value, change thethickness of side bearing adjusting washer.

When the backlash is large: Make drive gear back side adjusting washer thicker,
and drive gear tooth side adjusting washer thinner by
the same amount. For selectin g adjusting washer, re-
fer to the latest parts information.
