6. Measure the starting torque of the differential assembly with the special tool and a torque wrench.
-
STANDARD: 1.4 - 2.5 Nm (12 - 23 inch lbs.)
NOTE:
-
Measure the tapered roller bearing preload at normal room temperature.
-
Measure the tapered roller bearing preload in both directions.
7. If the tapered roller bearing preload is not within the standard, select the thrust shim which will give the correct tapered roller bearing preload from
the table.
NOTE: Changing the thrust shim to the next size will increase or decrease tapered roller bearing preload about 0.3 - 0.4 Nm (2.6 -3.5 inch lbs.).
8. Recheck the tapered roller bearing preload.
9. How to select the correct thrust shim:
a. Compare the tapered roller bearing preload you get with the thrust shim that was removed, with the specified preload of 1.4 - 2.5 Nm (14- 12 -
23 inch lbs.).
b. If your measured tapered roller bearing preload is less than specified, subtract yours from the specified.
If yours is more than specified, subtract the specified from your measurement.
For example with a 2.17 mm (0.0854 inch) thrust shim:
-
(A) specified 2.5 Nm (23 inch lbs.) - you measure 0.6 Nm (5 inch lbs.) = 1.9 Nm (18 inch lbs.) less.
-
(B) you measure 3.3 Nm (30 inch lbs.) - specified 2.5 Nm (23 inch lbs.) = 0.8 Nm (7 inch lbs.) more.
c. Each shim size up or down from standard makes about 0.3 - 0.4 Nm (2.6 - 3.5 inch lbs.) difference in tapered roller bearing preload.
In example (A), your measured tapered roller bearing preload was 1.9 Nm (18 inch lbs.) less than standard so you need a thrust shim five sizes
