Drive Axles - Ford Motor Co. - 7 1/2" & 8 1/2" Ring Gear: Overhaul: Adjustment: Notes

NOTE: If new components have been installed, proper gear set assembly must be checked using a Rear Axle Pinion Depth Gauge tool (T79P-4020-A) to determine correct pinion shim. If bearing cups have been replaced, new cone and roller assemblies should also be installed. Cups must be seated in bores so that a 0.0015" feeler gauge will not fit between cup and bottom of bore. Rear pinion bearing must be pressed on so that it is firmly seated against spacer shim and pinion gear.
