When installing the differential and King gear aBaembly, it iB necessary toCheck and adjust both backlaBh and carrier bearing preload aB follows: FifBt measure rotating dragofbevel pinion ahaft(10) using a spring scale with a string wrapped around the pinion BhaR aa ahown in Pig. 18. Do not measure starting torque (force necessary to atart pinion shaft turning), only measure the force necessary to keep pinion turning. Record the rotating drag measurement for later uae, then install differential aaaembly in carrier housing and tighten bearing cap ( Fig. 16) bolt8 tight enough to hold capa in place but allow adjuster rings (14) to be rotated. Turn adjuster ringn to remove all free play between ring gear and bevel proton gear. Preload of differential carrier bearings and gear backlash are both adjusted by turning ad)ttB Q PiRga (14L and l4R). Backlash between bevel ring gP&I Bhould 0.18-0.25 mm (0.0070.010 in.) ana can be measured at face of ring gear with a dialindicator( Fig.19). TurnadjuBterring8 (14) by amounts to move ring gear (111 away f/ompinion ear until desired backlash ia obtained. Atijuster ringa (14L and 14 Fig. 17) should be tight and differential should rotate freely in carrier bearings (151 when checking backlash. Carrier bearing preload ia correct when 3.2-4.7 Kg. (7-10 lba.) more rotational force is necessary to turn the pinion shaft than waa neceaaary to turn only the pinion ahaft when previously measured. Turn adjuster ring (14L) opposite ring gear to increase or decrease bearing preload. It is important to check both rotational drag (a« shown in F'ig. l8) and bevel pinion to ring gear backlash (Fig. 19) after changing the position of either adjusting ring (14L or l Fig. 17).

Use a retainer as shown at (R) to hold conea tight in cups while measuring. Install both carrier bearing capa and tighten the retaining nuts securely. Measure the diameter ofthe bearing bores (A). Both bearing borea ahould be the same diameter. Position bar gauge (S), part of tool No. 3135, in bearing bores. Note that bar gauge can be fabricated using a metal or wooden dowel with a hole drilled through it ao that depth gauge (G) can be inserted
through the gauge as ahown in Fig. 20. Meaaure the distance from the bar gauge to the inner ilanae of bearing (8) aa ahown at (B). Determine distance (C) from the center of the bearing bore to the bearing flange using formule B - D + (A < 2) = C.
The following ia an example of the Bhim thieknesa calculation: Divide bearing bore (A) diameter by 2, aubtract diameter of gauge bar (D) from meaaurement (B), then add the reaultB of theae two calciiiations to obtain dimenaion (C). If measurement (A) ie 90.00 mm, measurement (B) ia 90.35 mm and measurement (D) ia 25 mm; 90.35 mm - 25 mm + 4b mm = 110.35 mm (C).
Tb determine the thicknesa of ahims to be installed at (9 Fig. 17), subtract the value (1 Fig. 21) atamped on pinion face frDm the calculated diatance ( Fig. 20). The reBtllt IB the correct thickneas of shim (WFig. 17). Example: 110.35 mm (Cl - 107.25 mm (value on pinion gear) = 3.10 mm(ahim thiekneas required).
