RING & PINION GEAR

ASSEMBLY THEORY

Figure 3-18 (View of ring 81 pinion set)

Step (23) Ring gears and pinions are supplied in matched

sets only. Matching numbers on both the pinion and ring

gear are etched for verification. If a new gear set is being

used, verify the numbers of each pinion and ring gear before

proceeding with assembly.

The nominal distance from the centerline of the ring

gear to the button end of the pinion for the Model 80 axle

is 3.500 (88.9 mm).
