Knocking outer race of small tapered roller bearing out of housing

- After removing check shims for damage.





Pressing outer race of small tapered roller bearing into housing (press against stop)

- Position outer race using VW 295 and light even blows with a hammer.
- Drive in onto stop as shown in illustration.





Pulling off inner race for small tapered roller bearing

A - Two arm puller, e.g. Kukko 44/2





Pressing on inner race for small tapered roller bearing

CAUTION:
Wear protective gloves.


- Heat bearing to approx. 100° C, fit in position and press home.





Pulling off inner race for large tapered roller bearing

- Before fitting extractor position press piece 40-105 on differential housing.





Pressing on inner race for large tapered roller bearing

CAUTION:
Wear protective gloves.


- Heat bearing to approx. 100° C, fit in position and press home.





Driving outer race for large tapered roller bearing out of cover

- After removing check shims for damage.





Pressing outer race for large tapered roller bearing into cover





Driving ring gear off housing





Installing ring gear

CAUTION:
Wear protective gloves.


- When fitting ring gear guide centralizing pins -A- (local manufacture).
- Heat ring gear to approx. 100 degrees C and install.





Installing sun wheels and planet pinions

- If sun wheels have been replaced, measure and select new shims.
- Insert sun wheels with measured shims.
- Install planet pinions spaced 180 degrees apart, and rotate into position (arrow).
- Fit and align thrust washers.
- Insert threaded pieces.
- Drive planet pinion shaft into final position and secure.





Adjusting differential bevel gears

- Insert sun wheels with thinnest shims (0.5 mm).
- Insert planet pinions with thrust washers spaced 180° apart.

Note:
Do not now interchange bevel gears and thrust washers.

- Drive in planet pinion axis shaft.
- Press planet pinions outward.
- Press sun wheels in direction indicated (arrows), and check the amount of play.
- Determine thickest shims for sun wheels (on each side) which can still just be inserted. The same thickness of shim should be used on both sides.
- Identify shims according to table.

The following shims are available:





Note:





The adjustment is also correct if no further play is perceptible, although it is still possible to rotate the differential bevel gears (arrow).
