Pinion Gear Height

If the hypoid gear set has been replaced, select the pinion height adjusting washer.

1. Use the formula below to calculate pinion height adjusting washer thickness.

   Washer selection equation:
   T = T 0 + (t 1 - t 2 )
   T:		Correct washer thickness
   T 0 :		Removed washer thickness
   t 1 :		("H": machined tolerance 1/100 mm x 100)
   t 2 :		("H": machined tolerance 1/100 mm x 100)

   Example:
   T = 3.21 + [(2 x 0.01) - (-1 x 0.01)] = 3.24
   T 0 :		3.21
   t 1 :		+2
   t 2 :		-1

2. Select the proper pinion height adjusting washer. For selecting adjusting washer, refer to the latest parts information.
   CAUTION: If unable to find a washer of desired thickness, use a washer with thickness closest to the calculated value.

   Example:

   Calculated value... T = 3.22 mm

   Used washer... T = 3.21 mm
