FIGURE 21: Calculate size "B" which will be the first useful
value for calculating the size of the shims (14) that are to be
inserted under the thrust block of the internal bearing (9).
FIGURE 22: Check the nominal size (X) marked on the pinion
and add or subtract the indicated variation (Y) so as to obtain
size "Z".
e.g.: Z= 118 + 0.1 = 118.1
Z= 118 ± 0.2 = 117.8
FIGURE 23: Calculate size "C" which represents the second
value for calculating the size of the shims "S" that are to be
placed under the thrust block of the internal bearing (9).
