Determining thickness of shim
Determining thickness of shim
The specified bearing preload is obtained by adding a constant value for preload (0.25 mm) to the reading obtained.
Example:
   
Measured value0.70 mm
+ Preload (constant)0.25 mm
Thickness of shim =0.95 mm

–  Remove gearbox housing.
   
–  Pull tapered roller bearing outer race out of gearbox housing.
A - Counter support, e.g. -Kukko 22/2-
B - Internal puller, 46 … 58 mm, e.g. -Kukko 21/7-
–  Determine part number of shim according to → Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA“.
–  Insert shims of determined thickness, thickest shim first.
The following shims are available:
  N39-1102
Shim thickness (mm)
0.650.851.051.25
0.700.901.10 
0.750.951.15 
0.801.001.20 

If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the table, insert two shims totalling the correct figure. When using two shims, install the thicker one first.
The various thicknesses make it possible to achieve the exact shim thickness required.
   
–  Press outer race in again and tighten gearbox housing to specified torque → Item and → Item.
