• The pre-load of the taper roller bearing, that
supports the spiral bevel pinion shaft, can be
adjusted by tightening its mounting nut. (Refer to
the diagram in this chapter.) The standard pre-
load is defi ned by the turning torque of the spiral
bevel pinion shaft.
• The turning torque can be measured using a
torque wrench or by tying the shaft with a string
and pulling the string down with a pull scale.
Make sure to convert the unit correctly.
• The turning torque and turning force can differ
by the installation condition as shown in the
following table:

1. Coat all teeth of the spiral bevel pinion with contact
grease and install it properly.
2. Turn the bevel pinion for 5 ~ 6 rounds, remove the
pinion and check the contact area by a contact
mark on the spiral bevel gear teeth.
Contact mark center location
3. The contact area should be over 35% of the en-
tire teeth area and the center of the contact mark
should be close to the center of the pinion in height.
Also, the center of the contact mark should be lo-
cated on the 1/3 spot from the toe of the teeth to
the center of the teeth in length.
4. Adjust the shim according to the contact area.
