New Shimming procedure for
Bravo Upper 2004
• Step 1) Place the new U-Joint bearing pack on to the gear as you
have in the past, by pressing the first bearing roller and cone
assembly onto the gear until it bottoms on the gear. Next place
the bearing cup for that bearing over the cone and roller
assembly.
• Step 2) Place the center cup/spacer over the gear and press the
second bearing onto the gear until a slight preload is felt. Stop
at that point, now place the assembly you just set up over the
U-joint along with the large thrust washer and the retainer
nut assembly and adjust the bearing preload to (.9 Nm) 8 lb. in.
for new bearings and (.6 Nm) 5 lb. In. for used bearings.
