Adjust preload of tapered roller bearings for
pinion shaft with hollow shaft

Differential removed

Note:
Illustration shows hollow shaft without gears. The adjustment of the pinion
shaft can be done with or without gears. - Press inner race -1- for double tapered roller bearing onto pinion shaft
and secure Page 35

.
- Position needle bearing -2-.
- Install circlip 3 onto hollow shaft and press on inner race for tapered
roller bearing -4- Page 35

- Install measuring tools and secure to transmission housing using bolt
(arrow).
- Set dial indicator (3 mm measuring range) to "0" with 2 mm preload.
- Loosen transmission cover bolts and turn pinion shaft several times.
- If correct shims have been selected, dial indicator will now indicate the
following value:
0.05-0.15 mm
- Tighten transmission cover bolts again to 22 Nm (16 ft lb).
- Remove measuring tools.
- To settle tapered roller bearings, rotate pinion shaft together with
hollow shaft 5 turns in each direction, then rotate pinion shaft
separately in relation to hollow shaft 5 turns in each direction.

- Press tapered roller bearing outer race with shim
S4 into transmission cover Fig. 8, Page 35

.

- Reinsert assembled pinion shaft into
transmission housing fully.

- Install transmission cover and tighten bolts to 22
Nm (16 ft lb).

- To settle tapered roller bearings, rotate pinion
shaft together with hollow shaft 5 turns in each
direction, then rotate pinion shaft separately in
relation to hollow shaft 5 turns in each direction.

If correct shims have been selected, dial indicator will now indicate
following value:
0.05-0.15 mm
If this reading is not obtained the adjustment must be corrected. - Install measuring tools and secure with bolt (arrow) to transmission
housing.
- Set dial indicator (3 mm measuring range) to "0" with 2 mm preload.
- Loosen transmission cover bolts and turn pinion shaft several times.

- Install differential.

- Turn differential 5 turns in each direction to
settle tapered roller bearings.

- Secure VW387 dial indicator holder onto housing.
- Attach VW521/4 locking sleeve and VW521/12.
- Install dial indicator and VW382/10 extension pin (6 mm flat).
- Adjust VW388 measuring lever to dimension -a-:
Distance -a-: 67 mm (2.637 in.) for 170 mm (6.693 in.) diameter ring
gear.
- Determine play between teeth flanks as follows:
- Turn ring gear until it makes contact with tooth flank (end of backlash
travel).
- Set dial indicator to "0" with 2 mm preload.
- Turn ring gear back against opposite tooth flank (backlash).
