To make finding the thickness of shims easier, the distance
between the shim and case can be measured with a feeler gage
blade and this value is then added to the thickness of the used
shims.

Example:

Second bearing cap not tightened fully (bolts screwed in
uniformly).

Friction torque, refer to Technical Data

Gap measured with blade

0.20 mm

Used shim

1.40 mm

Install shim of thickness

1.60 mm

Measure again.

Remove differential case.

Arrange side covers and shims of determined thickness - do not
mix them up.
