The various thicknesses make it possible to achieve the exact shim thickness required.
Part number: → Parts catalogue
   
Checking friction torque
A - Torque gauge, commercially available, 0..600 Ncm
B - Wrench socket (41 mm AF)
The friction of new tapered roller bearings must be 80...120 Ncm.
–  Lubricate bearing with gear oil before installing.
