Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly

Select appropriate shim as follows.

Measure distance "a" between taper roller bearing outer races of reduction driven gear assembly (1).
Measure depth "b" of left case (2) and "c" of right case (3).

Obtain adjusting shim thickness by the following equation.

THICKNESS SPECIFICATIONS

Necessary shim thickness = Depth "b" + Depth "c" - Distance "a" + 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)

Select a shim which is close to half thickness of the calculated value (necessary shim thickness) from among the available shims to install it between bearing and case at each of right and left sides.
For example:

Measure distance "a" is 110.75 mm (4.360 in.).

Measure depth "b" is 85.8 mm (3.378 in.).

Measure depth "c" is 26.55 mm (1.045 in.).

Necessary shim thickness = 85.8 mm (3.378 in.) + 26.55 mm (1.045 in.) - 110.75 mm (4.360 in.) + 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) = 1.7 mm (0.067 in.)

1.7 mm (0.067 in.) ÷ 2 = 0.85 mm (0.033 in.)

Calculated thickness of new shim = 0.85 mm (0.033 in.)

Available reduction driven gear shim thickness

0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, 1.00 and 1.05 mm (0.024, 0.026, 0.028, 0.030, 0.031, 0.033, 0.035, 0.037, 0.039 and 0.041 in.)

Clean mating surface of right and left cases, and apply sealant to right case (1) as shown in figure by such amount that its section is 1.2 mm (0.047 in.) in diameter.
