| Universal dial gauge bracket -T20020- |
| t
| Torque spanner -SAT 8010- |
| Adjust the differential when one of the following elements has been replaced: |
| t
| Differential roller bearings |
|
|
|
| –
| Remove the differential outer roller bearing track from the gearbox casing, with tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40300/14-. |

Note! | t
| The procedure and tools needed to remove the outer tracks of the roller bearings are identical for the gearbox and clutch casings. |
| t
| To remove the outer track of the clutch casing, previously remove the articulation flange oilseal bush → Chapter, Gearbox casing and clutch casing: repairing. |
| t
| The roller bearings and their corresponding outer tracks are matched pairs. Do not mix with other bearings. |

|
|
| –
| Install the differential outer roller bearing track from the gearbox casing, with tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40300/12-. |

Note! | The procedure and tools needed to install the outer tracks of the roller bearings are identical for the gearbox and clutch casings. |
| –
| Place the differential on the clutch housing. |
| –
| Fit the gearbox casing onto the clutch housing and tighten the securing bolts to 25 Nm + 90°. |
|
|
|
| –
| Fit tool -T20020- on the gearbox casing with a dial gauge. Locate the end of the gauge on the differential, interplacing tool -U-40300/13-. |
| –
| Adjust the dial gauge to “0” with a pre-tension of 1 mm. |
| –
| Move the differential alternately in the -direction of the arrows-. |
| –
| Take note of the measurement obtained (e.g. 0.70 mm). |

Note! | When measuring do not turn the differential, because the roller bearings may settle and the reading would be erroneous. |
| The pre-tension of the bearing is obtained by adding a constant pressure value (0.4 mm) to the obtained measurement value (in the example: 0.70 mm). |
|
|
|
| Average value | 0.70 mm |
| + Pressure (const. value) | 0.40 mm |
| Thickness of shim | 1.10 mm |
| The shim needed will be determined by the following table: |
|
|
|
| Thickness (mm) | Spare no. |
0.65 0.70 0.75 | 02A 409 210 02A 409 210 A 02A 409 210 B |
0.80 0.85 0.90 | 02A 409 210 C 02A 409 210 D 02A 409 210 E |
0.95 1.00 1.05 | 02A 409 210 F 02A 409 210 G 02A 409 210 H |
1.10 1.15 1.20 | 02A 409 210 J 02A 409 210 K 02A 409 210 L |
| 1.25 | 02A 409 210 M |
| The existence of different tolerances allows the exact calibration of the thickness of the washer needed. |
| If the thickness needed is greater than those indicated on the table, two shims can be used that add to the determined value. |
| –
| Once the necessary shim has been determined, remove the dial gauge. |
| –
| Remove the bolts that secure both casings and separate the gearbox casing. |
| –
| Separate the differential. |
|
|
|
| –
| Remove the differential outer roller bearing track of the gearbox casing, with tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40300/14-. |
| –
| Fit the shim of the correct thickness (in this case 1.10 mm) into the housing in the outer track of the differential roller bearing in the gearbox casing. |
| –
| If it is necessary to fit two shims, place the thickest one first. |
|
|
|
| –
| Fit the differential outer roller bearing track to the gearbox casing, with tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40300/12-. |
| –
| Place the differential on the clutch housing. |
| –
| Fit the gearbox casing onto the clutch housing and tighten the securing bolts to 25 Nm + 90°. |
