Determine the adjusting washer
Determine the adjusting washer
The prescribed bearing preload is reached by adding to the established measured value a constant value (0.25 mm).
Example:
   
measured value0.70 mm
+ pressure (const. value)0.25 mm
Thickness of the adjusting washer =0.95 mm

One example of this:

–  Remove the gearbox housing and pull out the outer ring/tapered-roller bearing from the gearbox housing.

  Note
Assign the adjusting washers via the → Electronic Catalogue of Original Parts.
–  Insert adjusting washers of the determined thickness, the thickest adjusting washer first.
If the measured washer thickness is greater than the one listed in the table, 2 washers corresponding to the measured value may be fitted.
Different tolerances allow to measure the required thickness for each washer very precisely.
   
–  Press outer ring/tapered-roller bearing with the determined adjusting washer (in the example 0.95 mm) again into the gearbox housing.
–  Position gearbox housing and tighten → Chapter.
