    Illustration 43g00515523

  58. Install small housing (43) on the large housing (48). During assembly, thrust washer (44) (not shown) must remain in the proper position on the two dowels of the thrust washer. The four dowels in the bores for the spider must engage the slots in the four retainers for the pinion bearings. Small housing (43) weighs approximately 43 kg (94.8 lb).

  66. Assemble cage (39), bearing cup (40), and adjusting ring (38) for the small bearing. The combined weight of the small cage, the bearing cup, and the adjusting ring is 12 kg (26.5 lb).

    Note: For information on the salvage of the bearing cage, refer to Guideline For Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8200, "Salvage of Differential Bearing Cage Used on Off-Highway Trucks".

    Note: For information on the reusability of the bearing cups for the small bearing and the large bearing, refer to Guideline For Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8190, "Tapered Bearings Used in Off-Highway Trucks".

  67. Assemble the cage, the bearing cup, and the adjusting ring for the large bearing. The weight of the large cage, the bearing cup, and the adjusting ring is approximately 23 kg (50.7 lb).


    Illustration 51g00515534

  68. Position the ring and adjusting nut assemblies (36) for the two bearing supports into saddles in carrier (37). Position the dowel in the cage so the dowel will enter the bearing cap.


    Illustration 52g00515600

  69. Position the differential housing and the bevel gear into the bearing cones that are on the carrier.

  70. Install bearing cap (31), bracket (29), two washers, and two bolts (30). Tighten the bolts to a torque of 14 N·m (10.3 lb ft).

    Note: The low torque for bolts (30) is to allow for adjustments to be made. A final torque will be applied to bolts (30) in Step 90.

  71. Repeat Step 70 for remaining bearing cap (34).


    Illustration 53g00515602

  72. Position the differential and the carrier so the bevel gear is horizontal and the teeth are facing upward.


    Illustration 54g00515604

  73. Put Tooling (F) on the teeth of the carrier and the bevel gear.


    Illustration 55g00515605

  74. Use Tooling (K) in order to turn the larger adjusting ring. Turn the adjusting ring until there is a backlash of .51 ± .13 mm (0.020 ± 0.005 inch) between the bevel gear and the pinion gear. Measure the backlash at intervals of 90 degrees.

    Note: The axle is horizontally oriented for photographic purposes. Usually, the axle is vertically oriented.



    Illustration 56g00515606

  75. Remove Tooling (F) (not shown). Use Tooling (C) to rotate the pinion gear by three revolutions.

    Note: A manufactured Tooling is shown in the photo instead of Tooling (C).

  76. Position Tooling (F) on the differential and the carrier.

  77. Use Tooling (L) (not shown) to turn the smaller adjusting ring. Turn the adjusting ring until dimension (X) increases by .75 ± .05 mm (0.029 ± 0.002 inch). This procedure will set the bearing preload.


    Illustration 59g00515606

  78. Remove Tooling (F) (not shown). Use Tooling (C) to turn the bevel gears by several revolutions in each direction. Turning the bevel gears will determine that the bearings are seated.

    Note: If the bearing preload is set, the backlash will increase by approximately 0.18 mm (0.007 inch). Backlash must be readjusted to .51 ± .13 mm (0.020 ± 0.005 inch). If the large adjusting ring and the small adjusting ring are moved by the same distance and in the same direction, the backlash can be adjusted while the same bearing preload is maintained.



    Illustration 60g00515604

  79. Position Tooling (F) on the teeth of the carrier and bevel gear.

  80. In order to adjust the backlash between the pinion gear and the bevel gear, turn the adjustment rings by the same amount and in the same direction. The backlash must be .51 ± .13 mm (0.020 ± 0.005 inch).


    Illustration 61g00515629

  81. Position Tooling (F) in the same manner that was described in Step 76. Use Tooling (L) to turn out the small adjusting ring in order to remove all the preload on the bearings.

  82. Use Tooling (L) (not shown) to turn in the small adjusting ring until dimension (X) increases by .50 ± .05 mm (0.019 ± 0.002 inch).


    Illustration 62g00515604

  83. Position Tooling (F) on the teeth of the carrier and the bevel gear.

  84. Check the backlash between the pinion gear and the bevel gear. If the backlash is not within .51 ± .13 mm (0.020 ± 0.005 inch), repeat Step 80.

  85. After the adjustments for the backlash and the differential preload are done, check the contact of the teeth between the bevel gear and the pinion. Use the following procedure to check the contact:

    1. Put a small amount of Prussian Blue, red lead, or paint on the bevel gear teeth. Turn the pinion. Inspect the marks that were made on the bevel gear teeth.


    Illustration 63g00515630
    Correct Tooth Contact: Reverse (Concave side of gear)


    Illustration 64g00515635
    Correct Tooth Contact: Forward (Convex side of gear)

  86. If the contact pattern does not match the illustration, the number of shims that was determined in Step 2 must be increased or decreased accordingly The shims from Step 39 must be adjusted by the same amount in order to maintain the bearing preload.

    Note: Several adjustments of the pinion gear and the bevel gear may need to be made before the backlash and the tooth contact are correct. Any alteration of the backlash will change the tooth contact. The backlash must be correct before the tooth contact is checked.

  87. The backlash must be checked if shims were added or removed. Repeat Steps 73 through 86.


    Illustration 65g00515636

  88. Apply Tooling (P) to bolts (32). Install two locks (33), two bolts (32), and two washers that keep the adjustment rings from turning.

    Illustration 71g00515646

  98. Position Tooling (F) on the pump and the gear teeth. Use shims (16) to obtain a backlash of .37 ± .13 mm (0.015 ± 0.005 inch) between the gears. When this procedure is complete, remove Tooling (F).


    Illustration 72g00515669

  99. Position pump outlet passage (2) so that O-ring seal (4) is at the flange end and so O-ring seal (5) is at the tube end. Install four bolts (3) and four washers.


    Illustration 73g00515671

  100. Position pump inlet passage (6) with O-ring seal (8) (not shown) on the flange.

  101. Use four bolts (7) and four washers to connect the flange end of the tube to the pump. Use two bolts (9) and two washers to connect the bracket on the strainer to the pump, the differential, and the carrier. Apply Tooling (P) to bolts (7).
