3 Series E36 328i (M52) TOUR
Establish friction torque level of new differential housing bearings
The axial preload force of the differential housing bearing (4000
N) can be determined from the friction torque,
refer to Technical Data.
Screw in bearing cover screws of second bearing cover evenly
until differential (final drive) is still just able to rotate.
Install an output flange on the side opposite of the crown wheel.
Using a bracket with welded nut (in-house manufacture) and
special tool 00 2 000, establish level of friction torque.
Turn friction torque meter at speed of approx. 50 rpm.
The friction torque given in the differential housing bearing table
should be achieved but not exceeded.
Refer to Technical Data.
If new shaft seals have already been fitted, add 20 Ncm to each
sealing ring in which an output shaft rotates during measurement.
If the specified friction torque is not achieved, although both
bearing covers are tightened down to specified tightening torque,
a thinner shim must be installed on the side facing the crown
wheel and the measurement must be repeated.
