3. Tighten the nut of special tool MB990903 a little at a time, while measuring
the turning torque of the drive pinion. Then confirm that the turning torque
(without the drive pinion oil seal) is at the standard value.

4. Clean thorou
ghly the side bearin
g seat of the differential carrier.
NOTE: Because the special tool cannot be turned one turn,
turn it several times within the range that it can be
turned; then, after fitting to the bearing, measure the
turning torque.

5. Place special tool MB991365 in the side bearing seat of the differential carrier,
and then select a drive pinion rear shim of a thickness which corresponds to the
gap between the special tools.
NOTE: When selecting the drive pinion rear shims, keep the
number of shims to a minimum.
