The following work sequence is recommended to save time when the crown wheel and pinion shaft have to be adjusted:
t  Determine shim thickness “S3” so that the dimension from the centre of the crown wheel to the face of the pinion shaft corresponds to the dimension determined during production.
t  Determine shim “S4” for preloading of double angular contact ball bearing.
t  Determine total shim thickness “Stotal” (S1 plus S2) for the 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.
