Adjusting drive pinion and crown wheel
Sequence of readjustment of final drive
 
V39-1615

→ If the pinion shaft and crown wheel have to be adjusted, the following sequence is recommended as the most efficient:

1.)

Determine total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S1" + "S2" (sets preload for taper roller bearings for differential) => from Page 39-65.

2.)

Determine total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S3" + "S4" (sets preload for taper roller bearings for pinion shaft) => from Page 39-48.

3.)

Distribute total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S3" + "S4" so that the distance from centre of crown wheel to face of pinion shaft is the same as distance "R" which was determined during production => from Page 39-56.

4.)

Distribute total shim thickness "Stotal" for "S1" + "S2" so that the specified backlash exists between crown wheel and drive pinion => from Page 39-73.
