Note:
From this point on, do not interchange differential bevel gears and their
respective thrust washers. Fig. 12 Adjusting differential bevel gears
- Insert large differential bevel gears with thinnest shims (0.5 mm).
-
Insert small differential bevel gears (turned 180 ) together with thrust
washers. - Drive in differential bevelgear shaft.
- Press small differential bevel gears outward.
- Press large differential bevel gears in direction indicated (arrows), and
check play.
- Determine thickest shims for large differential bevel gears (on each
side) which still just fits.
- Shims for both sides should be of equal thickness.
- Identify shims according to table. Part numbers parts catalog
