ADJUSTMENT OF BACKLASH AND BEARING PRELOAD
Clearance between pinion and crown wheel (backlash) should be within certain limits to ensure quiet running and long life. Adjustment is carried out by moving [1][2]differential housing sideways.
Differential bearing preload is adjusted by means of nuts.
50. Install:
- [1][2]differential housing in final drive
- adjusting nuts with new O-rings and seals
Lubricate seal, packing space between lips with grease. Oil nut. Use lubricant P/N 1161 007-8. Install nuts together with differential bearing races.
51. Install:
- washer 5791 for one adjusting nut
- magnetic stand and dial gauge. Position gauge plunger at opposite side of housing.
52. Tighten adjusting nuts on both sides
Use wrench 5371. Tighten nuts until small backlash is felt at crown wheel and dial gauge just begins to indicate.
53. Rotate [1][2]differential housing a few turns until bearing rollers are centered.
Adjusting nuts are now tightened as far as possible without imposing bearing preload.
[1][2]Differential should always be rotated a few turns after adjusting nuts.
54. Adjust and check backlash.
Mount dial gauge in position. Position gauge plunger on crown wheel tooth approx. 3 mm (0.12 inch) from outer end of tooth. Hold pinion and move crown wheel towards and away from plunger. Flank clearance may vary between 0.10-0.16 mm (0.0039-0.0063 inch), but should be as close as possible to 0.13 mm (0.0051 inch). Maximum permissible variation between three different measurements is ±0.03 mm (0.0012 inch).
55. Adjust by moving nut in or out. Use tool 5371.
If nut is adjusted outwards, other nut should be adjusted inwards by the same amount. Adjust until correct backlash has been achieved.
56. Preload final drive housing one notch on each side.
Tool No. 999 5371, Wrench For Differential Bearing Preload Nuts:
57. Rotate [1][2]differential housing five turns.
