Lower unit shims

[Edson19]

I have an Ikea lower unit. Box of parts with self assembly. I have most of it figured out but have three shims that I do not know where they go, except they fit the prop shaft. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry Motor is a 70hp Johnson J70TLCOS. Have looked at videos and parts diagrams and they do not show any. Thank you

There are no shims on the propshaft !-----The pinion gear thrust bearing under the water pump is shimmed.--I have the big $$ shim tool.--------And hurry to a shop to determine the amount of shim required.-----Failure to get this correct could result in early gear failure !
