bearing preload closest to the standard mean value of 2.50 Nm (25.5 kgf.cm, 22 inch lbs.).
NOTE: Changing the 79.5 mm shim to the next size will increase or decrease tapered roller bearing preload about 0.3 - 0.4 Nm (3 - 4 kgf.cm, 2.6
- 3.5 inch lbs.).
8. Recheck the tapered roller bearing preload.
9. How to select the correct 79.5 mm shim:
-1) Compare the tapered roller bearing preload you get with the 79.5 mm shim that was removed with the specified mean preload of 2.50 Nm
(25.5 kgf.cm, 22 inch lbs.).
-2) If your measured tapered roller bearing preload is less than specified, subtract your's from the specified.
If your's is more than specified, subtract the specified from your measurement.
For example with a 1.38 mm (0.0543 inch) shim:
(A) specified 2.50 Nm (25.5 kgf.cm, 22 inch lbs.)
- you measure 0.54 Nm (5.5 kgf.cm, 5 inch lbs.)
2.0 Nm (20 kgf.cm, 18 inch lbs.) less
(B)you measure 3.29 kg-m (33.5 kgf.cm, 29 inch lbs.)
- specified 2.50 Nm (25.5 kgf.cm, 22 inch lbs.)
0.8 Nm (8 kgf.cm, 7 inch lbs.) more
-3) Each shim size up or down from standard makes about 0.3 - 0.4 Nm (3 - 4 kgf.cm, 2.6 - 3.5 inch lbs.) difference in tapered roller bearing
preload.
-
In example (&, your measured tapered roller bearing preload was 2.0 Nm (20 kgf.cm, 18 inch lbs.) less than standard so you need a 79.5
mm shim five sizes thicker than standard (try the 1.513 mm (0.0602 inch) shim and recheck).
-
In example(% your's was 0.8 Nm (8 kgf.cm, 7 inch lbs.) more than standard, so you need a thrust shim two sizes thinner (try the 1.32 mm
(0.0520 inch) shim and recheck).
10. After adjusting the tapered roller bearing preload, assemble the transmission, and install the transmission housing.
8 x 1.25 mm 27 Nm (2.8 kgf.m, 20 ft. lbs.)
11. Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the tapered roller bearings.
