Determining shim S2
Determining shim S2
The specified bearing preload is obtained for S2 by adding a constant value for preload (0.35 mm) to the measured value.
Example:
   
Measured value1.50 mm
+ Preload (constant)0.35 mm
Thickness of shim S2 =1.85 mm

   
–  Remove clutch housing and press out tapered roller bearing outer race -A-.
B - Internal puller, 46 … 58 mm, e.g. -Kukko 21/7-
–  Allocate shim(s) using → Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA“.
The various thicknesses make it possible to achieve the exact shim thickness required.
If the size of shim required is larger than those listed in the → Electronic parts catalogue „ETKA“, insert two shims totalling the correct figure.
–  Insert correct S2 shim (in example 1.85 mm) and press tapered roller bearing outer race into clutch housing again.
–  Fit clutch housing and tighten bolts to specified torque setting → Item.
