32 REAR AXLE Fig. 64 Fig. 63 Assemblemaster differential bearing Pt.No. 2698 5890 3514 on to case hubs. Place differential assembly into housing. Install dial gauge and locate tip of indicator on the surface of one of the ring gear screws. Force the differential case assembly away from the pinion gear. With force still applied set indicator at 0 (Zero). Fig. 63 Force the differential case assembly and ring gear to mesh with the pinion gear. Fig. 64 Rock ring gear to allow the teeth of the gear to mesh repeat to obtain a stable reading. Record in given format as B. Fig. 63 Remove indicator and master differential bearings. WORK SHEET FOR CALCULATION RING GEAR BACKLASH AND DIFFERENTIAL BEARING PRELOAD SHIMS 1. Total amount of space Measurement A measured without ring gear. 2. Total amount of space Measurement B measured with gear set assembled in carrier. 3. Measurement A minus Measurement C Measurement B. Assemble the shim pack using the figures determined in A, B & C adjusting the packs as described below. RING GEAR SIDE: Assemble shim pack to measurement B - 0.125 mm. or B – 0.005" OPPOSITE SIDE OF RING GEAR: Assemble shim pack to measurement C. Add 0.20 mm or C +0.008"for differential bearing preload and backlash. Ring Gear Side Opposite Side of Ring Gear
