5 Series E34 525td (M51) TOUR
The friction torque specified in the final drive mount table should
be achieved but not exceeded,
refer to Technical Data
If new shaft seals have already been fitted, 20 Ncm must be
added to each seal in which an output shaft rotates during the
measurement process.
If the specified friction torque is not achieved although both
bearing covers are at specified tightening torque,
refer to Technical Data
a thinner shim must be installed opposite the crown wheel and the
measurement must be repeated.
If the specified friction torque is reached although both bearing
covers are tightened to the specified tightening torque,
refer to Technical Data
a thicker shim must be installed opposite the crown wheel and the
measurement must be repeated.
To make finding the thickness of shims easier, the distance
between the shim and case can be measured with a feeler gage
blade and this value is then added to the thickness of the used
shims.
