FRONT AXLE
M6060, M7060, WSM
5-S21
Backlash of Bevel Gear in Front Wheel Case
1. Set a dial indicator (lever type) on the shaft (Kingpin).
2. Move the shaft (Kingpin) by hand and measure the
circumferential play of the shaft.
3. Calculate the backlash from the ratio of the shaft diameter to the
gear diameter. (Backlash = Play × 2)
4. If the backlash exceeds the allowable limit, adjust with the shims
(1).

Backlash between Internal Gear and Planetary Gear
1. Set a dial indicator (lever type) on the tooth of the planetary
gear.
2. Hold the planetary gear support and move only the planetary
gear.
3. If the measurement exceeds the allowable limit, check the
planetary gear and planetary shaft.

Clearance between Planetary Gear and Shaft
1. Measure the planetary gear I.D. and the planetary gear shaft
O.D. (rubbing surface).
2. Measure the O.D. of two needles installed diagonally in the
needle bearing.
3. Calculate the clearance.
4. If the clearance exceeds the allowable limit, replace them.
