REFITTING.
9 If the differential shaft housing is renewed, it is necessary to re-adjust. Proceed as follows
a) Put the dial gauge support 1766-T, together with the dial gauge 2437-T, fitted with the extension 2438-T, as
shown on Pl. 60, fig. 2, on the old housing.
Set the dial at “0” and note the position of the totalising needle. For example : between 1 and 2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . Support 1766-T

b) Put the support 1766-T on the new differential shaft housing and note the position of the needles. For example
totalising needle between I and 2 and large needle at 16. The new housing being shorter than the old one by
0.16 mm. When assembling, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the assembly of the distance piece (4)
and the adjusting washer (5) (see Pl. 60, fig. 1), by 0.16 mm, in order to retain the adjustment of the differential
bearings.
c) If the new housing is longer than the old housing (large needle at 90, for example), it is necessary to reduce the
thickness of the bearing adjusting washer and distance piece assembly (by 0.10 mm in the example selected).
NOTE - This setting can also be obtained by using a straight edge MR-3377 (see Pl. 56, fig. 2) fitted with a dial
gauge 2437-T and an extension 2438-T, or using a depth gauge fitted with a straight edge . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . or straight edge
