If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the shim thick-
ness as follows:
• Remove shims from final gear bearing case and final gear case,
and measure total thickness.
• In order not to change the clearance between final driven bevel
gear and bearing, the total thickness of the shims installed af-
ter a change is made must equal the original total thickness of
shims.
• If backlash is too large:
a) Install a thinner shim pack 1 between final driven bevel
gear and final gear case.
b) Increase thickness of shims 2 between final driven bevel
gear bearing and bearing case by an amount equal to
decrease above.
• If backlash is too small:
a) Install a thicker shim pack 1 between final driven bevel
gear and final gear case.
b) Decrease thickness of shims 2 between final driven gear
bearing and bearing case by an amount equal to increase
above.
EXAMPLE:
Final gear to case shims 1; 1.45 mm + 1.40 mm = 2.85 mm
Final gear bearing to bearing case shims 2,
Backlash too large:
Final gear to case shims 1; 1.35 mm + 1.45 mm = 2.80 mm
Final gear bearing to bearing case shims 2,
Backlash too small:
Final gear to case shims 1 1 50 mm + 1.40 mm = 2.90 mm
Final gear bearing to bearing case shims 2;
0.35 mm + 0 60 mm = 0.95 mm
Original total measurement = 3.80 mm
0. 0 mm + 0.40 mm = 1.00 mm
Total thickness = 3.80 mm
0.50 mm + 0.40 mm = 0.90 mm
Total thickness = 3.80 mm
