Backlash Of Differential Pinion And Differential Side Gear - Ezgo 1600xd Repair Manual

REMARK
• 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:

4.3 BACKLASH OF DIFFERENTIAL PINION
AND DIFFERENTIAL SIDE GEAR
1. Install the dial indicator (lever type) so that its
pointer contacts with the surface of the differential
side gear through the hole of the differential case
as shown in the fi gure.
2. Measure the backlash of the differential side gear
while moving the differential pinion gently.
Standard backlash: 0.15 ~ 0.25 mm
(0.0059 ~ 0.0098 in.)

3. If necessary, replace the shim (1) installed on the
back of the differential side gear to adjust the back-
lash. However, the shims with the same thickness
should be installed in both side gears.
Size of adjusting
shim: 0.8 mm (0.031 in.)
1.0 mm (0.039 in.) Standard shim
1.2 mm (0.047 in.)
