Backlash must be readjusted as next step when shim pack is changed. Refer to step 1.
6. For steer bevel gears etched with a backlash adjustment in 0.018 to 0.022 inch range, this is final setting. For
those in 0.006-- to 0.012--inch range, readjust backlash (after gear tooth contact pattern is satisfactory) to 0.018
inch.

slots in shaft. Lockring tails (viewed from right side of transmission) wrap counter--clockwise around spanner
nuts. Stake edges of ring grooves at several points to retain rings.
