- Check that there is no clearance between the outer race, shim and transmission housing.
- Install the gasket when checking preload.
- With the mainshaft, countershaft and secondary shaft removed, install the differential assembly and torque the transmission housing.
Torque = 55 Nm
- Rotate the differential assembly in both directions to seat the bearings.
A Torque Wrench
- Measure the starting torque of the differential assembly with the special tool and a torque spanner.
Standard:
New bearings = 2.8 – 4.0 Nm.
Reused bearings = 2.5 – 3.7 Nm.
Note:
- Measure the starting torque at normal room temperature in both directions.
- If out of specification, select two thrust shims which will give the correct preload, and repeat steps given above.
- Changing one of the shims to the next size will increase or decrease starting torque about 3 – 4 kg.cm.
- To increase the starting torque, increase the thickness of shims. To decrease the starting torque, decrease the thickness of shims.
CAUTION: Never use more than two shims to achieve correct pre - load.
