Important:   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.
8.   Install tapered roller bearing outer race in transmission housing
•   Insert spacer washer (optional)
•   Press in tapered roller bearing outer race with KM-372-2 (1)
use KM-554 (3) with KM-710 (2) as counterhold
Important:   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.
9.   Install tapered roller bearing outer race in converter housing
Note:   Ensure that the converter housing is laid flat under the press.
•   Insert friction washer
•   Press in tapered roller bearing outer race with KM-523-4 (6), KM-514 (5) and KM-711-3 (4)
10.   Attach ring gear, driven, (8) to differential housing
Note:   Note markings applied (9) during removal.

•   Tighten 8x bolt 100 Nm
Note:   Use new bolts.
Attach 4x retaining plate (7)
Note:   Use new retaining plates.

Important:   The tapered roller bearing inner races have different thicknesses. The thinner bearing is to be fitted on the differential housing side, the thicker bearing on the drive wheel side.

12.   Adjust tapered roller bearing
•   Insert differential into transmission housing.
•   Fit converter housing
•   Tighten 15x bolt 25 Nm
13.   Measure breakaway torque of differential
Note:   Measure breakaway torque without gear set with KM-6037 (1) and MKM-536-A (2).

Measured value:

New bearing

( 0.8...1.4 Nm )

 

Run-in bearing

( 0.4...0.7 Nm )

Note:   Adjust breakaway torque by installing suitable spacer washers from the "Service" Department. The spacer washer is installed under the tapered roller bearing outer race in the transmission housing. To do this, remove converter housing, differential and tapered roller bearing again (only if adjustment is necessary).
