ADJUSTMENT
There are two methods by which
odiustments can be made to the differential bearings.
p
The first method uses a dial gauge to measure the thickness of the odjvsting rashersI
which
is
directly related to the bearing stress. The second method rneosures the torque
required to rotate the differential using a spring balance.
Method
1
l,
Position the differential and bearings.
(a)
Place the differential together with bearings in the end of the gearbox
costing.
(b)
Place the adjusting washer (13) and the distance washer

position.
(f)
Place against the right-hand differentiol bearing the adjusting washer
(13) followed by the distance washer (12) and the distance piece
(1 1).
The total thickness (12) and (13) should not be less than
9
mm.
(g)
