5 Series E34 525td (M51) TOUR
Tighten input flange with the collar nut in steps, measuring the
friction torque after each step.
Measure friction torque with special tool 00 2 000 and suitable
socket head,
refer to Technical Data.
Caution!
The relation between friction torque and preload force differs
depending on the make of bearings.
Take specified friction torque from the pinion bearing table
and add 20 Ncm,
refer to Technical Data.
Install differential. Install side covers as marked with
corresponding washers (1) and new O-rings (2). Tighten bolts
uniformly.
Tightening torque, refer to Technical Data
Backlash/Tooth Contact Pattern Adjustment
Attach special tool 00 2 500 (dial gauge holder) and measure
torsional face runout,
refer to Technical Data
Caution!
The tooth contact pattern is always most important for a
perfectly adjusted pinion/crown wheel.
