5. Install a new stake washer. Install the lock nut finger
tight.
6. Setthebearingpreloadbysecuringthebearingcase
in a vise. Thread a M12 x 1.5 hex head cap screw into
thesplinedendoftheinputshaft/piniongear andslowly
tighten the lock nut until 4 to 6 in-lb (0.4 to 0.7 N--m) of
force is required to rotate the input shaft/pinion gear in
the bearing case.
7. Secure the lock nut with the stake washer.
8. Useadepthgaugetomeasurethedistancefromthe
endface oftheinput shaft/piniongeartothe matingsur-
face of the bearing case. Subtract the “Design Cone
Center Distance” from this distance to determine initial
shim thickness (Fig. 30).
DESIGN CONE CENTER DISTANCE
(distancefrommatingsurfaceof axle support to end
face of pinion gear):
1.870 +
0.002 in. (47.5 + 0.05 mm)
NOTE: Bearing case shims are available in 0.004 in.
(0.1 mm) and 0.008 in. (0.2 mm) thickness.

temporarily install gear case assembly into axle case.
Tighten mounting nuts and screws from 35 to 41 ft-lb
(47to56N--m).
10.Insert a screwdriver through the drain plug hole to
hold ring gear and measure the pinion gear to ring gear
backlash (Fig. 31).
PINION GEAR TO RING GEAR BACKLASH:

13.Place the correct combination of shims on the gear
case. Tighten mounting nuts and screws from 35 to 41
ft-lb (47 to 56 N--m).
14.Install retaining rings and driven gear on input shaft/
pinion gear.
15.Ifthedrivegear(ondrive motorshaft)wasremoved,
install the retaining rings and drive gear on the motor
shaft.
16.Use a new gasket and install the cover plate. Use a
new O-ring and install the drive motor.
