To check the tooth contact pattern, coat the crown wheel teeth
with printer's ink, turn in both directions several times and stop
crown wheel suddenly with a piece of hard wood.
Backlash,
refer to Technical Data,
and contact pattern are corrected by altering the thicknesses of
both shims (1).
If backlash is too great, install a thinner shim on the crown wheel
end.
If backlash is too small, use a thicker shim on the crown wheel
end.
Axial displacement of the crown wheel of 0.01 mm signifies a
change in tooth flank clearance of 0.0076 mm.
Caution!
The total thickness of both shims may no longer be changed.
If a thinner or thicker shim is required to correct the tooth contact
pattern, the total thickness must be corrected with the second
shim, since otherwise the friction torque of bearings would be
changed again.
Drive in new retaining plate with special tool 33 4 050 and
special tool 00 5 500.
