Setting the Bevel Pinion Preload

94 / 150



To perform at maximum efficiency, tapered roller bearings must operate under a predetermined preload. This alsoensures a rigid mounting for the gears.

Setting the Preload

Set bearing preload after the bevel pinion is assembled into the housing. Apply 20,000 pounds (10 tons) of pressure tothe bearing in a hydraulic press. Rotate the pinion housing (bearings) before applying full pressure to the bearings.This will prevent premature bearing failure.

Note: Make sure to lubricate the bearings with oil before performing the bearing preload check.

1. Selective Bearing Spacer

95 / 150



Wrap several turns of cord around the bevel pinion housing at the pilot area. Attach scale J 8129, or equivalent, to thecord and slowly and evenly pull on the scale until the housing rotates. The correct load on the scale should be between3 and 6 pounds for new bearings, and 2 to 4 pounds for used bearings. If the reading on the scale is not within thecorrect specifications, it is necessary to replace the original spacer. Use a thinner spacer if it takes less than thespecified amount of pull to rotate the housing. Use a thicker spacer if the required load exceeds specification.

Note: A thinner spacer increases preload.A thicker spacer reduces preload.

Note: If bearings are in good condition, they can be reused for rebuilding a carrier. If used bearings are placed backinto a carrier, a good rule of thumb is that the force needed to turn the scale while under 20,000 pounds of preload isabout one half the requirement of new bearings. This is why used bearings have a 2-4 pound specification rather thanthe 3-6 pounds specified for new bearings.

2

After determining the correct bearing preload, install a power divider retaining nut. Coat the threads withnewLoctite® 262 before installing.

Note: In emergency cases, the old nut may be used. In either case (using new or old nut), thoroughly clean and primethe threads of the bevel pinion and the cam nut. The threads must then be coated with Loctite 262.

CautionDo not allow the Loctite 262 to drip into the bearings, as it can cause bearing failure.

4. Centerline of Helical Pinion Shaft

When reusing the bevel pinion that was removed from the carrier, also use the shim pack that was removed atdisassembly upon reassembly and installation of the bevel pinion. When rebuilding a carrier, it is sometimes necessaryto use a new bevel pinion. When this occurs, use the following procedure:

Determine the mounting distance on the disassembled bevel pinion (etched into original pinion) and compare itwith the mounting distance on the new bevel pinion (etched into new pinion).

If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is longer than the old (higher number), this amount of shim will haveto be added to the new shim pack.

If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is shorter than the old (lower number), this amount of shim will have tobe removed from the shim pack.

For example: 4.878" OLD PINION - 4.875" NEW PINION = 0.003" SHIM DIFFERENCE In this case, remove 0.076 mm(0.003 in.) from the original shim pack. This procedure provides a good starting point for setting the gear patterns.

Wrap a cord around the bevel pinion housing as shown. Attach scale J 8129, or equivalent, to the cord. Pull on thescale slowly and evenly until the housing rotates.


2To keep the housing rotating steadily, the correct load on the scale should read 3 to 6 pounds for new bearings, and 2to 4 pounds for used bearings. If the reading is not within specifications, replace the original spacer. Use a thinnerspacer if it takes less than the specified pounds of pull, or a thicker spacer if it takes more than the specified pounds torotate the housing.

Note: Bearings that are in good condition can be reused to rebuild a carrier. When reusing bearings, remember that theforce needed to turn the scale while under 20,000 pounds of preload is about one half the requirement of newbearings.

Determining Bevel Pinion to Carrier Housing Shim Pack

When reusing the original bevel pinion, also reuse the shim pack that was removed from the carrier at disassembly.Sometimes it is necessary to use a new bevel pinion to rebuild the carrier.

Determine the mounting distance on the disassembled bevel pinion (etched into original pinion) and compare itwith the mounting distance on the new bevel pinion (etched into new pinion).

If so, use the following procedure: If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is longer than the old (highernumber), this amount of shim will have to be added to the new shim pack

If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is shorter than the old (lower number), this amount of shim will have tobe removed from the shim pack

For example: 4.876" OLD PINION - 4.874" NEW PINION = 0.002" SHIM DIFFERENCE In this case, 0.051 mm (0.002in.) must be removed from the original shim pack. This simple procedure provides a good starting point for setting thegear patterns.

Setting the Gear Patterns

After setups for the bevel pinion and helical pinion subassemblies have been completed, the gear patterns must beproperly set. If the disassembly instructions for these subassemblies have been followed as described, the existingshim pack thickness should have been measured and recorded, providing a basis on which to begin the gear patternadjustment procedure.

Note: The mounting distance stamped on the back of the bevel pinion teeth represents the distance from the backfaceof the head of the bevel pinion to the centerline of the bevel gear. The mounting distance on the back of the bevel gearteeth represents the distance from the backface of the bevel gear to the centerline of the bevel pinion. This numberhelps in determining the shims which will have to be installed to achieve the desired gear pattern.

Wire the bevel pinion shims together for use at final assembly. Wirethe helical (spur) pinion shaft assembly shims together to use when checking tooth contact pattern between the helical(spur) pinion shaft assembly and the bull gear.

Four-Pinion Type Differential — Reassembly

1Using a suitable hydraulic press, press the bearing cones onto the differential halves. Generously lubricate the bearingcones and the internal components with GO-J lubricant.

Note: The bearing cones on the two sides of the differential halves are different. The thicker bearing goes on theunsplined half and the thinner bearing goes on the splined differential half.

Note: The differential bearing cup which fits the unsplined casing has an external flange which engages a machinedsurface on the inner side of the bearing pedestal and cap when installed. This arrangement fixes the position of thedifferential and bull gear and provides for differential bearing preload adjustment. The bull gear position cannot vary.

2Apply GO-J lubricant to the thrust washer. Install the thrust washer in the unsplined differential casing.

3Apply GO-J lubricant to the unsplined differential casing and install the side gear into the casing.

4Assemble the four pinion gears and the four thrust washers onto the differential spider.

5Install the pinion, spider and thrust washer assembly into the unsplined side casing. Apply GO-J lubricant beforeinstallation.

6Ensure the gears are properly engaged and that the pinion thrust washer tabs are properly positioned in the casing.

7Install the other side gear so that it meshes with the pinion and spider assembly, applying GO-J lubricant beforeinstalling.

8Install the remaining thrust washer after lubricating it with GO-J lubricant.

9Align the side casing halves with the match marks made at disassembly and couple the casing halves together.

10Mark the side casing halves with a marking pencil at the "o" marked on the splined half. Mark the tooth between the"oo" marks on the bull gear.

11Align the match mark on the bull gear with that on the casing halves. Index the bull gear internal splines with theexternal splines on the differential side casing.

124 / 150



Note: Install a differential casing bolt in the match-mark hole to help align and install the bull gear.

12Apply Loctite 262, or equivalent, to four equally spaced casing bolt threads. Place Loctite in the middle of the bolts asthe bolts extend through the casing.

13Tighten the four equally spaced bolts evenly to pull the bull gear onto the casing. Turn the bolts equally and evenly topull gear down before torquing.

14Place the differential in a soft-jawed vise and install the remaining eight bolts. Torque the bolts to specification.

15Place Loctite 262 on the extended threads of the 12 (previously installed) bolts used to retain the bull gear.

16Ensure the differential gears turn freely. If any binding is detected, disassemble the unit and correct the cause.

Inter-Wheel Power Divider Differential — Reassembly

1If removed, insert a presized bushing into the power-divider driving cage until the bushing bottoms. DO NOTnewOVERDRIVE. A correctly installed bushing must be recessed below the inner-cam thrust surface of the cage.

2Using a hydraulic press, press the thinner bearing cone on the hub of the driving cage.

Note: The bearing cones on the two sides of the differential halves are different. The thicker bearing goes on theunsplined half and the thinner bearing goes on the splined differential half.

3Using a hydraulic press, press the thicker bearing cone on the hub of the non-splined power-divider differential sidecasing.

4Install the oil trough on the splined differential power divider cage.

5Examine the splined half of the power divider differential half. The differential half has one mark (shown at the twelveo'clock position).

Using feeler gauges J 26900-8 or equivalent, measure the gap between the bearing cover and retainer flanges.Add 0.13-0.25 mm (0.005-0.010 in.) to the measured amount for proper gasket thickness. This is done toprovide enough clamping force to prevent the bearing from rotating within the bearing retainer, and to provide aseal to prevent oil leakage.

Carrier Installation Into Chassis

1If not yet installed, dip end of yokes in GO-J lubricant and position them on the input shaft of the input andthrough-shafts of the front rear carrier. Position the clamp plate and install the self-locking bolts finger tight.

Note: Drive yokes for the 151 series carriers were installed in previous steps.

2Install a holding bar on output yoke and with a socket wrench, tighten yoke self-locking bolt to the required torque.

3Check the carrier for free turning and proper operation of working components. If an unusual amount of bind is felt, ornoise is heard, correct the cause before proceeding.

4All units with the four-pinion type differential which are being installed into the axle housing must immediately have thedifferential filled with one pint of GO-J lubricant before the carrier is installed into the vehicle.

5Apply a 2.0 mm (0.8 in) continuous bead of Silastic 732 RTV sealant, or equivalent, to axle housings without provisionsfor a large O-ring seal prior to assembly of the carrier onto the axle housing. This includes all CRD 92/93 seriescarriers. The CRD 112/113 series carrier housings have a large O-ring groove. Install O-ring in the groove. Then mountthe carrier. DO NOT use a sealant on carriers using an O-ring.

Install the cover assembly and new O-ring. Make sure that a cover containing the oil trough with magnetic strips isused in the front rear carrier.

CautionDo not use a plain cover on a front rear axle with power divider provisions. The front rear cover for a carrier witha power divider must have a trough to feed oil to the oil pump (through shaft) to prevent damage to the power

divider.
