Backlash & Side Bearing Preload Adjustment

  1. Check backlash at four equally spaced points on ring gear to determine minimum clearance, then mark ring gear at point of minimum clearance.
    CAUTION: Do not rotate ring gear until adjustments completed.

    Turn both adjusters equally in same direction until backlash is.0005-0015".

    NOTE: Turn adjusters clockwise only, and do not back off.

    Install adjuster lock on bearing at back side of ring gear.

  2. Turn bearing adjuster on tooth side of ring gear inwards 1 notch at a time (a notch is a lock hole) until backlash is as specified (see "Specifications"). At this point backlash and side bearing preload will be correct. Tighten remaining two bearing cap bolts to specifications, install remaining adjuster lock and tighten capscrew to specifications.
