Differential: Description and Operation
Use New Shims when Replacing the Output Flange
This adjustment is necessary whenever the output flange is being replaced. This creates the preload on the tapered roller bearing for the shaft bevel gear.
- Measure the length of the shaft on the old and new output flange to get the difference.
If the new output flange is longer- install a thinner shim.
If the previously mentioned output flange is longer- install a thicker shim.
