Determining adjustment shim
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Volkswagen R32. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The specified bearing pre-load is reached when determined measured value (0.14 mm) is subtracted from inserted adjustment shim (1.70 mm) and a constant pre-load value (0.20 mm) is added.
Example:
| inserted shim | 1.70 mm |
| - measured value | 0.14 mm |
| + pre-load (constant value) | 0.20 mm |
| Thickness of adjustment shim | 1.76 mm |
- Determine thickness of adjustment shim according to table.
- Determine replacement part number of adjustment shim according to Electronic Parts Catalog (ETKA).
- Remove transmission housing and pull tapered roller bearing outer race from transmission housing.
A - Support , e.g. Kukko 22/2
B - Internal puller 46 58 mm , e.g. Kukko 21/7
- Remove inserted adjustment shim (1.70 mm thick) from transmission housing.
