OD, maybe I'm looking at it wrong but the manual says to install the shims and then the brake plate, next comes the gasket and the rest of the hardware with still another gasket. Then it says to check the End Play. After the bolts are torqued down to 35 to 40 foot pounds.
It would seem to me it would be better to leave the gaskets off check it, add and remove shims as needed, then install then gaskets.
Because with the gasket installed it looks like your reading the shims and the gasket thickness as well.
