Final Drive Gear Set, Recommended Sequence For Adjusting

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 for the specified tension of the tapered roller bearing for differential.
2. Determine total shim thickness S3, so that pinion shaft obtains the specified installed position determined by the test machine in production.
3. Split up total shim thickness S total for S1 + S2, so that the specified torsional backlash exists between ring gear and pinion shaft.
