Determination of shim thickness to obtain a
correct contact pattern
The following measuring procedures must be carried
out with utmost accuracy!
Inaccurate measurements lead to an incorrect contact
pattern requiring an additional disassembly and
reassembly of pinion and differential!
Read dimension I from the axle drive housing.
Dimension I e.g. 331.25 mm
Read dimension II (pinion basic dimension).
Dimension II e.g. 265 mm
In case of a – or + deviation of the pinion basic dimension
caused by production, the correction value is also marked
by hand on the pinion head.
Pinion dimension without + or – indication = 265.0 mm
Pinion dimension with + 0,1indication = 265.1 mm
Pinion dimension with – 0,1 indication = 264.9 mm
