Adjusting drive pinion and crown wheel
Sequence of readjustment of final drive

The following procedure is recommended to save time when the drive pinion and crown wheel have to be adjusted:

1.)

Determine total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S1" + "S2" for the specified preload for taper roller bearings for differential.

2.)

Determine total shim thickness "S3" to reproduce the installation position for the drive pinion determined on the test machine in production.

3.)

Distribute total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S1" + "S2" so that the specified backlash exists between crown wheel and drive pinion.
