Input Shaft End thrust - Check and Adjust

Input Shaft End thrust - Check and Adjust

1. Fit a new input shaft bearing in differential housing using tools 18G 1354 and 18G 1354-6.

CAUTION: Do not fit oil seal at this stage.

2. Position input shaft assembly in differential housing ensuring it is fully inserted in bearing.

NOTE: Position housing so that end of shaft is clear of bench.

3. Fit gear case, fit and tighten bolts to 45 Nm.

4. Position a straight edge and depth gauge across face of differential housing.
5. Pull input shaft into differential housing and position end of depth gauge on end of shaft; record measurement shown on gauge.
6. Push input shaft towards gearcase, record measurement shown on gauge.
7. Subtract thickness of straight edge from above readings.
8. Subtract first measurement from second measurement; record figure obtained. Call resultant measurement A.
9. Calculate thickness of circlip(s) required by subtracting 0.97 mm from dimension A. Input shaft end thrust = 0.14 to 0.21 mm
