Sequence For Adjusting Gear Set

If pinion shaft and gear ring have to be adjusted, the following sequence is recommended for maximum efficiency:

1. Determine total shim thickness Stotal for S1 + S2 (adjusting preload for tapered roller bearing for differential). Ring Gear, Adjusting

2. Determine total shim thickness Stotal for S3 + S4 (adjusting preload for tapered roller bearing for pinion shaft). Pinion Shaft, Adjusting

3. Distribute total shim thickness Stotal for S3 + S4 so that the dimension between the center of the gear ring and the face of the pinion shaft equals dimension "R" which was determined during production. Pinion Shaft, Adjusting

4. Distribute total shim thickness Stotal S1 + S2, so that the specified backlash between ring gear and pinion shaft is maintained. Ring Gear, Adjusting
