Fit the mounting 99395728 (2) with the dial gauge (1) on the
dummy pinion 99370286 (3).
Orientate the, previously zeroed, dial gauge so as to position
the rod on the lowest portion of the seat of the bearing
supporting the gear housing and note the difference A1.
Repeat the same operation on the seat of the other bearing
and note the difference A2.
Thickness S to be added to adjusting ring thickness (4,
Figure 49) used for measuring, for pinion positioning is
obtained by the following formula:
51840
18246
51838
A1 indicates the value measured on the right-hand seat.
A2 indicates the value measured on the left-hand seat.
B indicates the value marked on the bevel pinion (see
Figure 48).
For example:
Unscrew the retaining nut, the transmission connection
flange and remove it and the bearing from the dummy pinion.
Remove the dummy pinion with the mounting 99395728,
dial gauge and rear bearing from the axle housing.
If required, replace adjusting ring (4) with a new one having
the calculated thickness, after removing bearing outer ring
(3) from rear axle casing (5) by beater.
Then fit the new adjusting ring (4) into rear axle casing (5).
Using the punch 99374092 (2) and grip 99370007 (1), mount
the external ring (3) of the tapered roller bearing.

If the value marked on the pinion is preceded by a
positive sign (+), it must be subtracted from the
value of the sum divided by two for both seats,
whereas it has to be added if it is preceded by a
negative sign (-).
NOTE
1,125
The result of the formula must be added algebraically to the
value of the adjusting ring used to make the measurements.
Example:
if the value of the adjusting ring used is 3.00 mm, replace with
one measuring 4.125 mm (3.00 + 1.125).
