9. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the J 34673 . See Special Tools. 10. Subtract the thickness of the J 34673 , measured in step 9, from the measurement determined in step 8. See Special Tools. This is the shim thickness for the front axle without having any axle shaft endplay. 11. The correct shim size will be one size smaller than the figure obtained in the previous step. Note the following examples: If the figure obtained in step 8 was 3.53 mm (0.139 in), use a 3.30 mm (0.130 in) shim. If the figure obtained in step 8 was 3.30 mm (0.130 in), use a 3.05 mm (0.120 in) shim. Alternate Adjustment Method 1. Install the original shim to the shaft. Use the chassis grease in order to hold the shim in place. 2. Install the inner axle housing assembly to the differential carrier case. Do not use sealer at this time. 3. Install the bolts. Tighten: Tighten the bolts to 40 N.m (30 lb ft). IMPORTANT: Use this method only if the proper tools for calculating the shim size are unavailable. NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice .
