Fig. 12—Use a dial indicator to check backiash
between upper bevel gear and yoke shaft bevei
gear. Add or remove shims (1) between housings
to obtain desired backlash.
(12-Fig. 10) and differential yoke shaft
gear (7) should be 0.15-0.30 mm
(0.006-0.012 inch). Use a dial indicator to
check backlash as shown in Fig. 12, then
add or remove shims (1) between bevel
gear housing and axle housing to obtain
desired backlash. Recommended
backlash between lower bevel gear
(23-Fig. 10) and axle shaft bevel gear
(26) is 0.15-0.30 mm (0.006-0.012 inch).
Use a dial indicator to check backlash as
shown in Fig. 13, then add or remove
shims (2) at lower bearing cap to obtain
desired backlash. Tighten axle flange
mounting cap screws to a torque of
20-34 N-m (15-25 ft.-lbs.). Tighten bevel
gear case to axle housing mounting cap
screws to a torque of 98-132 N-m (75-95
ft.-lbs.). Tighten knuckle support or
steering arm mounting nuts to a torque
of 80-90 N-m (60-65 ft.-lbs.), then
measure clearance between support and
pivot pin bracket with a feeler gage as
shown in Fig. 14. Adjust shim pack
under knuckle support as needed to ob-
tain desired clearance of 0.1-0.2 mm
