  Remove

Remove differential – see operation "Differential, Remove and Install (AF 17)".

  Disassemble

Detach both tapered roller bearing inner races (3) with KM-161-B (1), KM-161-3 and KM-161-4 (2), if necessary unscrew remover hooks from counterhold and install individually on bearing.

If still present, disassemble (destroy) and remove speedometer gear (driving) – will not be later replaced.

Remove drive gear (4) from differential: Mark bearing ring position in relation to differential (arrow).

Loosen retaining plates (5) with screwdriver – remove 8 fastening bolts.

Remove drive gear from differential – if necessary use plastic hammer.

  Remove

Drive out both axle shaft seal rings from inside transmission or converter housing using screwdriver. Press tapered roller bearing outer race with KM-697 (2) and KM-711-3 (1) out of transmission housing – ensure that transmission housing lies flush under the press. Spacer (selective) (3) – remove arranged behind outer race of tapered roller bearing (4).

Press tapered roller bearing outer race with KM-697 (5) converter housing – ensure that converter housing lies flush under the press. Remove friction washer (6) – arranged behind tapered roller bearing outer race (7).

Caution

Do not confuse spacer (transmission housing side) and friction washer (converter housing side). If using new bearings, always use the thinnest spacer from "Service" department.

  Assemble

Press spacer (selectable) and tapered roller bearing outer race into transmission housing with KM-372-2 (1) – use KM-554 (3) with KM-710 (2) as counterhold.

Press in thrust washer and tapered roller bearing outer race with KM-523-4 (6), KM-514 (5) and KM-711-3 (4) – ensure that converter housing lies flush under the press.

Note marks made on removal (9). Drive gear (driven) (8) to differential housing: Heat in fluid on hot plate to approx. 100 °C. Attach drive gear (driven) with new fastening bolts (x8) and new retaining plates (7) to differential housing and secure – tightening torque 100 Nm / 74 lbf. ft.

  Install

Press on tapered roller bearing inner races – with KM-514 (2) and KM-567-2 (1).

Caution

Tapered roller bearing inner races have different strengths. The thinner bearing is for installation on the differential housing side, the thicker bearing for installation on the drive gear side.

  Install

Insert differential into transmission housing in order to adjust tapered roller bearing. Attach converter housing and fasten bolts (15 units) – tightening torque 25 Nm / 18 lbf. ft.

Object Number: 2393541  Size: DEFAULT

  Measure

Measure starting torque of differential without gear set with KM-6037 (1) and MKM-536-A (2).

Measurement value:

New bearing

0.8 to 1.4 Nm / 0.6 to 1 lbf. ft.

 

Run-in bearing

0.4 to 0.7 Nm / 0.3 to 0.5 lbf. ft.


Object Number: 2414058  Size: DEFAULT

  Adjust

Adjust starting torque by installing suitable spacers from "Service" department. Installation of the spacer washer is carried out below the outer racer of the tapered roller bearing in the transmission housing. In order to do so remove converter housing, differential and tapered roller bearing (only if adjustment is necessary).

  Install

Install differential – see operation "Differential, Remove and Install (AF 17)".
