Replace bearing in transmission housing (F23)

  Remove

1.   Dismantle transmission
2.   Check main shaft and intermediate shaft bearing for damage
•   If necessary, replace bearing
Object Number: 2416930  Size: DEFAULT

3.   When replacing main shaft bearing: determine installed position of old main shaft bearing in transmission housing
Note:   Ensure that the main shaft bearing in the transmission housing is not resting on the workbench during measurement. Support the transmission housing so that the inner ring of the main shaft bearing hangs free.
•   Place KM-621-23 (1) on transmission housing (3)
•   Determine distance (I) from inner ring of main shaft bearing to top edge of KM-621-23
Use a standard commercial digital depth micrometer (2)
Note:   Micrometer range at least 250 mm, 0.01 mm graduations
Perform measurement 3 times - space measuring points evenly around inner ring (arrows)
Add all measured values together
Divide by the number of measurements
Note down the average
Note:   The table below is a specimen calculation. You can enter the actual measurement results in the blank column on the right of the printout and perform the calculation there.

4.   When replacing the main shaft bearing: remove main shaft bearing from transmission housing
•   Knock out with KM-6122 (1) and KM-523-1 (2)
5.   When replacing the drive shaft bearing: remove drive shaft bearing from transmission housing
•   Knock out with KM-6123 (3) and KM-523-1 (4)

6.   When replacing the main shaft bearing: install new main shaft bearing in transmission housing
•   Knock out with KM-6122 (1) and KM-523-1 (2)
7.   When replacing the drive shaft bearing: install new drive shaft bearing in transmission housing
•   Knock out with KM-6123 (3) and KM-523-1 (4)

9.   Calculate the dimensional difference between the installed positions of the new/old main shaft bearing inner rings
•   Calculate the difference between the averages
Subtract the average noted down for the new bearing from the average noted down for the old bearing
Note:   If the difference exceeds +0.02/-0.06mm, the pressure collar must be adjusted.
Note:   The table below is a specimen calculation. You can enter the actual measurement results in the blank column on the right of the printout and perform the calculation there.

10.   If necessary, reset pressure collar
•   Remove differential gear tapered roller bearing LUREF_1.gif
•   Replace 2 shims (1) and (4)
Note:   If the dimensional difference is positive, a shim (4) that is thicker by the same amount must be selected at the transmission housing side. If the dimensional difference is negative, an appropriately thinner shim must be used. The total thickness of the two shims (1) and (4) must remain constant, since they determine the pretension of the differential gear tapered roller bearing. For this reason, when a thicker shim (4) is used at the transmission housing side, a shim that is thinner by the same amount must be installed at the clutch housing side (1). When a thinner shim is used at the transmission housing side an appropriately thicker shim must be installed at the clutch housing side.
Note:   The shims can be obtained from "Aftersales". The thickness of the shims (2) must be determined with a micrometer (3) as they are not marked.
Note:   The table below contains a few examples from the range of shims that can be supplied. When adjusting, the shims must be selected to achieve the smallest tolerance possible. Undamaged used shims can be re-used.
