Figure 7.
c Add the specified preload amount to the end float measurement
determined with the feeler gauge to determine a shim amount for
‘E’ (Refer to Figure 6.).
PRELOAD + END FLOAT = SHIM PACK
c Create a shim pack ‘E’ to closely match the calculated amount.
NOTE : When creating the shim pack ‘E’, use at least 0.75mm
[0.030”] of the Air Locker shim pack between the
factory shim and the bearing cup in order to prevent
the cage of the bearing from contacting the factory
shim.
To achieve this desired shim thickness you can:
•
Machine down the factory shim thickness.
•
Add shims between the factory shim and the bearing cup.
•
Purchase new factory shims at the desired thickness.
•
Use a universal shim kit available from most drive train specialists.
NOTE : Do not add shims between the bearing cone and the
bearing seat and NEVER machine the Air Locker.
