Special tools and workshop equipment required

t	Case for repairing gearboxes -U-40200-

t	All-purpose support for tester -T20020-

t	Support column for gearbox-differential -AR-2203A-

t	Dynometric keys -SAT 8010-

Adjust the main shaft when any of the following components have been replaced: t  Gearbox casing t  Clutch casing t  Main shaft t  4th gear pinion t  Tapered roller bearings in the main shaft So as to avoid unnecessary adjustment work, consult the Chart for Adjustment → Chapter.

–  Assemble the outer track of the tapered roller bearing for the main shaft in the gearbox casing without the adjustment washer, using tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40200/13-. –  Place the main shaft into its housing in the clutch casing. –  Assemble the gearbox casing over the clutch casing and tighten the bolts for attaching them. Tightening torque: 25 Nm + 90º

–  Place tool -T20020- with a tester over the gearbox casing. Place the end of it over the main shaft. –  Turn the main shaft a few times in order to settle the tapered roller bearings. –  Adjust the tester to “0” with a prior stress of 1 mm.   Note! The adjustment to “0” for the tester must be repeated each time that the measurement is made, otherwise, the tester will not go back to the initial position.

–  On the lower part of the gearbox, put pressure on the main shaft in the direction of the tester. –  Note the reading given on the tester (Example: 1.21 mm).   Note! The tester does not return to the initial position. t  The adjustment washer needed is found by means of the following Table → Anchor. Example: t  Set in the tester = 1,21 mm. t  According to the Table for a set for the main shaft from 1.200 to 1.224 mm, a thickness of 1.175 mm would correspond to it. Table of adjustment washers

–  Once the adjustment washer needed has been foand, remove the comparator. –  Remove the bolts that attach both casings and take out the gearbox casing. –  Remove the main shaft from the casing.

–  Remove the outer track of the tapered roller bearing for the main shaft in the gearbox casing using tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40200/13-. –  Place the adjustment washer with the thickness calculated (in this case, 1.175 mm) into the housing for the outer track of the tapered roller bearing.

–  Assemble the outer track of the tapered roller bearing of the main shaft in the clutch casing using tool -U-40200/10- and tool -U-40200/13-. –  Carry out a measurement for control. Measurement for control –  Place the main shaft into its housing in the clutch casing. –  Assemble the gearbox casing over the clutch casing and tighten the bolts for attaching them. Tightening torque: 25 Nm + 90º

–  Place the tool -T20020- over the gearbox casing with a tester. –  Place the end of the tester on the main shaft. –  Turn the main shaft a few times in order to settle the tapered roller bearings. –  Adjust the tester to “0” with a pretension of 1 mm. –  On the lower part of the gearbox, put pressure on the main shaft in the direction of the tester. –  The bearing play should range between a minimum of 0.01 mm and a maximum of 0.1 mm.   Note! If it is not possible to note any play in the bearing, but however the first shaft has quite a visible play that allows a smooth turn, the adjustment is right.
