Input seal retainer shims

[Kaz]

Anyone know where in the manual it gives the procedure for determining how many shims to use in the input seal retainer? Closest I saw was how to install a new seal in the old retainer. I ended up with a new retainer as well and I'm not 100% sure the same spacing will work. Or will it still be fine with the old amount? Thanks.

Input seal on what?

An excellent question I should have realized I needed to answer before it got asked. The half shaft going into the geared hub. Is it in one of the manuals in the TM section or am I just not good at searching them?

Well I think I've gotten the original question answered but now I've got a new one. I just used feeler gauges under the old retainer and measured them. It originally had shims equaling .045 in it, but now it's measureing .14-something and bottomed out. I didn't remove anything else so I don't understand what changed and why. Anyone know what I'm dealing with? Thanks.
