Final Drive Gear Set, Recommended Sequence For Readjusting

If the pinion shaft and ring gear have to be readjusted, the sequence is recommended for maximum efficiency:
1. Determine total shim thickness Stotal for S1 + S2 (adjusting preload for tapered roller bearings for differential), Refer to Ring gear, adjusting.
2. Determine total shim thickness Stotal for S3 + S4 (preload for tapered roller bearings for pinion shaft), Refer to Pinion Shaft Adjusting, Total Shim Thickness Stotal For Shim S3 + S4, Determining.
3. Distribute total shim thickness Stotal for S3 + S4 so that the dimension from center of ring gear to face of pinion shaft is the same as dimension "r" which was determined during production.
4. Distribute total shim thickness Stotal for S1 + S2 so that the specified backlash between ring gear and pinion shaft is maintained.
