7. Attach the Axle Shaft Remover J-2 5 5 2 and bump the shaft back and forth several times to seat the shaft and bearings in place. Remove the bumping tool and install Checking Gauge J-2 560.
8. With the axle shaft forced in towards the differential, turn the long adjusting screw to bear against the backing plate, then pull the shaft outward. Check with feeler gauge to determine the clearance, which should be .004 inch to .007 inch (See figure 36.) Shims for this adjustment are available in .005 inch, .007 inch, and .020 inch thickness. Add or remove shims at the backing plate, to obtain the specified clearance.
End play of less than .050 inch can be adujsted at one side only. Remove shims from both sides if end play exceeds .050 inch in order to keep the thrust block centralized.
