ST 499575400 GAUGE - Using the ST, measure the height "B" from the mating surface of intermediate case to the end surface of ST.NOTE: Set the ST so that it does not ride on the bearing inner race.
ST 499575400 GAUGE - Obtain the thickness of rear drive shaft shim using the following formula to select none to four rear drive shaft shims.
T (mm) = A - B + 0.38 - (0.05 - 0.25)
[T (in) = A - B + 0.0149 - (0.002 - 0.01)]
T: Rear drive shaft shim thickness
A: Depth from the ST end surface to the ball bearing contact surface
B: Height from the mating surface of the intermediate case to the ST end face
0.38 mm (0.0149 in): Thickness of gasket
0.05 - 0.25 mm (0.002 - 0.01 in): Clearance
