Ford 8.8 Inch Rear End - Eight-Point Great
|
This is similar to checking valve clearance or gapping spark plugs. The shim size (ours is 0.031 inch) sets the pinion depth required for optimal mating of the ring-and-pinion gears. Once the pinion gear is positioned and the flange has been threaded outside the housing, a pinion nut is gradually tightened against the crush sleeve until all of the back-and-forth play has been eliminated. At this point, Robert sets preload on the pinion bearings at 20 in-lb, which keeps the pinion gear properly secured and eliminates side-to-side/back-and-forth movement without being too tight, which could cause the gears to bind.
