55.Position a suitable dial gauge indicator on casing
with stylus registering on back face of crown
wheel.
56.Rotate differential and check total indicated
run-out on crown wheel back face. This must not
exceed 0,05 mm. If run-out is excessive, check
mating faces for dirt and damage; if necessary,
select a new radial position for crown wheel.
When satisfactory, continue with following check.
Differential bearing adjustment
57.Insert two levers between casing and differential
unit at one side.
58.Move differential unit fully to one side of casing;
do not tilt unit.
59.Rotate differential unit to settle bearings,
continue to lever differential to side, then zero
dial gauge indicator.
60.Lever assembly fully to other side of casing,
rotate unit to settle bearings, then note total
indicator reading.
61.Add 0,127 mm, for bearing pre-load, to total
noted in preceding instruction. The sum is then
equal to nominal value of shims required for
differential bearings. Shims are available in
range 0,07 mm, 0,12 mm, 0,25 mm and 0,76
mm. Select total value of shims required.
62.Remove differential unit and bearings and place

OVERHAUL 86.Before adjusting shim thickness, check pinion
face marking and if it has a plus (+) figure,
subtract that from shim thickness figure obtained
in previous instruction. Alternatively if pinion has
a minus (-) figure, add amount to shim thickness
figure.
87.Adjust shim thickness under pinion inner cup as
necessary, by amount determined in instructions
85 and 86.
88.Recheck pinion height setting instructions 82 to
84. If setting is correct, mean reading on dial
gauge will agree with figure marked on pinion
end face. For example, with an end face marking
of +3, dial gauge reading should indicate that
pinion is 0.003 in (0.0762 mm) below nominal.
89.When pinion setting is satisfactory, temporarily
remove pinion outer bearing.
90.Fit a new collapsable bearing spacer, flared end
outward, to drive pinion and refit outer bearing.
91.Fit pinion oil seal.
92.Fit oil seal gasket.
93.Fit pinion oil seal, lipped side first, using general
purpose grease or, where available, a
molybdenum disulphide based grease on seal
lip, usingLRT-51-002to drift in seal.
94.Fit coupling flange and plain washer and loosely
fit a new flange nut. SecureLRT-51-003to
coupling flange, using slave fixings.
95.Alternately tighten flange nut and check drive
pinion resistance to rotation until following
figures are achieved, as applicable:
A.Assemblies re-using original pinion bearings:
17,3 to 34,5 kgf cm.
B.Assemblies with new pinion bearings: 34,5 to
46,0 kgf cm.
NOTE: Once the bearing spacer has
started to collapse the torque resistance
build-up is rapid, therefore check
frequently, using a spring balance, to ensure the
correct figures are not exceeded, otherwise a new
collapsable bearing spacer will be required.
