Inspections and checks
Carry out a thorough check and adjust the end play as follows:
— Move the axle forward tapping with a non-ferrous metal ham-
mer.
— Use thickness gauge A (see Fig. 5), to make sure that the end
play between shoulder ring B and differential housing C is
within specifications given in the related table (see page 195).
If the end play is correct loosen the four nuts securing front
swivel support C to drive axle A and add or remove a number
of shims B enough to obtain the recommended end play.
— Bleed the air from the brake system.
— Check the toe-in and adjust the differential lock operating rod
if necessary.
— Tighten the swivel support securing nuts to the specified
torque.
