‒ → Erect measuring device and dial gauge (3 mm measuring range, dial gauge extension -A- approx. 30 mm).
‒ Preload dial gauge to 1 mm and set to "0".
‒ Move differential up and down, read off clearance indicated on dial gauge and note.
(Example: 0.50 mm)

Determining shim S2 thickness

The specified bearing preload is obtained by adding a constant figure (0.30 mm) to S2.

Example:

B - Internal puller 46...58 mm, e.g. Kukko 21/7

‒ Fit shim S2 to size determined (in example 0.80 mm) and press taper roller bearing back into the clutch housing.

The following shims are available:

Varying tolerances make it possible by measuring the shims to obtain the exact shim thickness required.

Two shims totalling the correct figure can be inserted.

‒ Fit clutch housing in position and tighten bolts to torque => page 34-54 , item 3 .
