Measurement of backlash (Selection of washer)
1. Measure the gear backlash with ST1 and ST2, and insert ST2 through the access window of the case.
  1. ST1 498247001 MAGNET BASE
  2. ST2 498247100 DIAL GAUGE
  NOTE:
  - Measure the backlash by applying a differential bevel pinion tooth between two differential bevel gear teeth.
  - Fix differential bevel pinion gear in place with a screwdriver or similar tool when measuring.
  1. Standard value: 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 in)
