WARNING
Avoid injury!
Handle all parts carefully. Do not place your hands or fingers between parts. Use Personal Protec-
tive Equipment (PPE) as indicated in this manual, including protective goggles, gloves, and safety
footwear.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Install the front axle on a stand and proceed as follows.
1. Smear grease on the outer races of the bearings and fit
the upper cover, without the adjustment plate, but with
tool number 380000235 (1). Tighten the retaining bolts
to a torque value of 64 N·m (47 lb ft).
2. Install the lower cover without adjustment plate, lubri-
cate the three retaining bolts with oil.
3. Gradually tighten the lower cover bolts in sequence,
while simultaneously rotating the casing to allow the
excess grease to escape.
4. Using a torque wrench, tool number 380000235 (1),
check that the torque required to rotate the casing is
2.9 N·m (25.7 lb in) without considering the peak start-
ing value. If not, adjust by way of the lower cover bolts.
5. Measure the gap (H) created between the low cover
and the casing in correspondence with the three bolts.
6. Calculate the average of the three values measured.
The total thickness of the adjustment shims to be fitted
under the lower cover is to be calculated as follows:
S3= H
If necessary, round up the value to the next 0.05 mm
(0.002 in).
