AXLE REPAIR (CONT)

Table 1. Worksheet for Spacer, Bearing, and Washer Thickness (Cont)

Measurement from end face of drive pinion to pinion flange;

e.g., 3.62 in. (92.15 mm)

measured with depth gage

Measurement from center of differential to flange is stamped

e.g., 0.03 in. (0.77 mm)

in top side of axle at center of axle housing (5)*

Measurement from inner bearing race to contact surface of

bearing at differential housing

Important: All readings differ from axle to axle.

* Insert the constant 176 before the measurement (e.g., 0.77 mm), and constant 177 for dimension 00.

Table 2. Formula to Determine Spacer, Bearing, and Washer Thickness

Note readings and calculate spacer, bearing, and washer thickness.

Spacer thickness S1, for large taper roller bearing at lock side determines backlash and contact

pattern together with washer thickness S3.
