The following work sequence is recommended to save time when the crown wheel and pinion shaft have to be adjusted:
t  Determine total shim thickness “Stotal” (S3 plus S4) for the specified preload on pinion shaft tapered roller bearings.
t  Distribute total shim thickness “Stotal” (S3 plus S4) so that distance from centre of crown wheel to end face of pinion shaft corresponds to installation dimension “R” determined during production.
t  Determine total shim thickness “Stotal” (S1 plus S2) to obtain specified preload on differential tapered roller bearings.
t  Distribute total shim thickness “Stotal” (S1 plus S2) so that the specified backlash between crown wheel and pinion shaft is obtained.
