Foreword

The descriptions and service procedures contained in this manual are based on designs and techni-
cal studies carried out through May 2013.

The products are under continuous development. Vehicles and components produced after the
above date may therefore have different specifications and repair methods. When this is deemed to
have a significant bearing on this manual, an updated version of this manual will be issued to cover
the changes.

The new edition of this manual will update the changes.

In service procedures where the title incorporates an operation number, this is a reference to an V.S.
T. (Volvo Standard Times).

Service procedures which do not include an operation number in the title are for general information
and no reference is made to an V.S.T.

Each section of this manual contains specific safety information and warnings which must be re-
viewed before performing any procedure. If a printed copy of a procedure is made, be sure to also
make a printed copy of the safety information and warnings that relate to that procedure. The follow-
ing levels of observations, cautions and warnings are used in this Service Documentation:

Note: Indicates a procedure, practice, or condition that must be followed in order to have the vehicle
or component function in the manner intended.

Caution: Indicates an unsafe practice where damage to the product could occur.

Warning: Indicates an unsafe practice where personal injury or severe damage to the product could
occur.

Danger: Indicates an unsafe practice where serious personal injury or death could occur.

• Total Wrench Length "B" = 12"
• A/B = 24/12 = 2 (Quotient)

Multiply the dial reading by the quotient found above to deter-


mine the torque at the end of the adapter:
• Dial Reading = 50 lbs.
• Quotient = 2
• Torque at End of Adapter = 50 x 2 = 100 lbs.

If the required torque is known, divide by the quotient to deter-

Group 46 Differential Carrier, Function

Design and Function


Differential Carrier, Function
MACK top-mounted, dual-reduction tandem carriers of the 150/151 series transfer the power from the transmission to the rear
wheels. The carriers are identical except for the input drive and the through-shaft arrangement of the front carrier.

Front Rear Carrier


Most MACK four-wheel-drive tandems are provided with a
MACK inter-axle power divider, which can be defined as a third
differential. The exclusive MACK inter-axle power divider splits
driving torque evenly or unevenly, as required between the tan-
dem axles. This power divider is fully automatic, contains no
gears and preserves traction in the toughest conditions. MACK
power dividers automatically provide a 3-to-1 torque biasing ca-
pability to the axle with the best traction.

During certain off-highway (low traction) situations, there is an


advantage to coupling the tandem carriers together in a
straight-through positive drive arrangement. An optional power
divider with lockout feature is available for this purpose. The
driver can control the power divider lockout from the cab of the
vehicle. The lockout consists of an air-actuated piston assem-
bly which controls a shift fork and gear-type sliding clutch. The
clutch is splined to the cage assembly and is moved to engage
with the outer cam of the power divider. This couples the cage
and outer cam together and effectively locks out the function of
the power divider for emergency traction situations.

Tire matching is still required on units with or without an inter-


axle power divider as mismatched tires equate to mismatched
ratios. Tire matching is required with a power divider or prema-
ture unit failure will occur.

Rear Rear Carrier


In the rear rear carrier, the main drive pinion design is borrowed by a pair of tapered roller bearings mounted in a separable
from the front carrier and is carried in an overhung arrangement housing.

Inter-Wheel Differential Lock


Optional inter-wheel differential lock with the following function/
attributes:

• Mechanical mechanism that locks both the left and right axle
shafts together
• Used for vehicle speeds below 20 mph
• To be used for vocational off-road use (only the most slippery
terrain)
• Driver controlled
Availability: Both axles of tandem, Rear rear axle of tandem.
Forward rear axle of tandem, single rear drive axle.

Group 46 Features

W4033819

1 Main Drive Pinion


Another important feature of both the front rear and rear carriers
is the inter-wheel or differential power divider with a command
wedge-type differential, instead of the conventional gear-type
differential. Similar to the inter-axle power divider the inter-
wheel power divider is also fully automatic, contains no gears
and provides a 3-to-1 torque biasing capability to the wheel with
the best traction.

Features
Current production dual-reduction carriers are provided with:

• Durapoid spiral bevel gears for first reduction


• Coarse-pitch, wide-faced helical gearset for second
reduction
• Four-pinion, closed-type gear differential (unless otherwise
specified)

Inter-Axle Power Divider


The MACK inter-axle power divider provides torque biasing be-
tween axles of the tandem rear carrier. If one axle (one or both
wheels of the axle) has limited traction, the torque applied to
each wheel of the axle is immediately multiplied by three and
transferred to the axle with more traction. Even when no trac-
tion is available at the spinning wheel, the operator can apply
the brakes slightly, creating enough resistance at that wheel to
allow power to the axle with traction.

Inter-Wheel Power Divider


The MACK inter-wheel power divider functions in much the
same manner as the inter-axle power divider with torque bias-

er may be used in conjunction with the inter-axle power divider
to provide increased manoeuvrability in poor traction situations.

The advantage of the power divider lockout is that tandem car-
riers can be coupled together in a straight-through positive drive
arrangement, thus enabling the operator to achieve maximum
traction under these severe conditions. For this type of opera-
tion, a lockout device, controlled from the cab by the driver, may
be incorporated with the power divider.

The lockout device inhibits the operation of the power divider. It


consists of an air-actuated, gear-type sliding clutch which, when

Differential Components and Operation


The differential assembly consists of four bevel pinions in steel-
on-steel bearing engagement with the spider and two axle-driv-
ing side gears with steel-backed, ball-indented thrust washers
behind bevel pinions and side gears. Lubricant trapped in the
ball indentations forms small reservoirs which provide adequate
lubrication at these points when differential action is taking
place. These parts are enclosed in the differential casing con-
sisting of two mated halves. In addition to the bolting flange of
the RH casing half, a ring of splines around the circumference
engages mating splines on the inside diameter of the bull gear
bolting flange. When assembled, driving torque from the bull
gear is transferred from the differential casing through the
splines. This relieves the bull gear mounting bolts of all shear-
ing stresses.

The entire assembly is straddle mounted in a pair of tapered


roller bearings, one at each outer end of the casing halves. The
bearings are mounted in the carrier pedestals. Bearing preload-
ing is accomplished by a slotted adjusting nut threaded to the
inboard side of the RH bearing cup which is otherwise free to
move laterally. The LH bearing cup flange holds itself stationary
against the LH bearing pedestal chamfer.

Group 46 Lubrication

Lubrication
When the vehicle is in motion, all moving parts in both tandem
carriers are constantly bathed in oil by the various pumping ac-
tions of the moving parts.

W4031749

Splash Lubrication

A pump on the rear half of the inter-axle through shaft sends oil
under pressure to the inter-axle power divider. A rolled groove
in the inner axle through the shaft carries fluid collected forward
to the Power Divider (PD) through the oil tube when the vehicle
is in forward motion. The fluid is collected from the intake port at
the rear of the oil tube. The oil tube is integral to the though
shaft bearing retainer.

W4031750

Inter-Axle Power Divider Pump Operation

19
Group 46 Overhaul Recommendations

A collector trough, integral with the bevel-gear compartment


cover, supplies the pump intake port on top of the rear bearing
retainer with lubricant collected from bevel gear throw-off. In for-
ward vehicle motion, the helical groove slinger of the pump
forces oil forward along the through shaft between the tube and
hollow-bevel pinion shaft to the internal parts of the power divid-
er. The oil returns to the banjo reservoir by the pumping action
of the parts and through drilled passages in the housings.
Another collector trough, integral with the carrier housing, di-
rects throw-off oil from the Durapoid gearset directly to the
drive-pinion tapered roller bearings through drilled and cast-in
oil passages. This oil returns to the reservoir by gravity. All other
gears and bearings are lubricated by their own pumping action
created when running in oil.

Overhaul Recommendations
Unless your shop is equipped with holding stands, a heavy-duty
hydraulic press, various gear and bearing pullers, and the
means to make your own holding devices where required, it is
highly recommended that the carriers be taken to the nearest
MACK dealer for overhauling. The following recommendations
are for shops that can handle this type of overhaul.

• Do not disturb parts with heavy press fits unless replacement


is necessary.
• Use proper press setups and/or pullers during disassembly
to avoid damaging usable parts during removal.
• Tighten all yoke or flange nuts as recommended (see Speci- W4031751

fications). If a heavy-duty air impact wrench with one-inch

• Make a special tool if the gear-jamming method is to be 4 0.635 or 0.95 cm (1/4 or 3/8 in. diameter)

and made of a 1/2-inch-diameter mild steel. Attach a handle
at one end of the slug tool by welding a rod that is two feet
long and 1/4 or 3/8 inch in diameter. One person can safely
hold this gear-jamming tool in the gear mesh while someone
else pulls the wrench. Because of the long handle, this tool
cannot be left accidentally in the bevel gear compartment
where it could cause damage.
• At reassembly, make sure the bench, tools and working
areas are clean.

Carrier Component Inspection


Overview
It is very important to carefully and thoroughly inspect drive unit Whenever possible, use Magnaflux or similar non-destructive
parts before reassembly. Replacement of worn or damaged inspection method on all steel parts except ball and roller bear-
components will eliminate costly and avoidable drive unit ings. This method is especially suited for inspecting machined
failure. or highly finished surfaces for wear and cracks, which otherwise
21
Group 46 Pinion Shaft Wear Limits

would not be visible. It is essential to completely demagnetize


the parts before using the Magnaflux method.

Pinion Shaft Wear Limits


Check shafts carefully for cracks or other surface damage that
can lead to early failure. Bearing journals must conform to the
concentricity requirements. Replace components if the speci-
fied wear limit of 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) is exceeded by more than
0.025 mm (0.001 in.). Inspect shaft press fit surfaces to ensure
a press fit condition with mating gears and bearings. Splined
ends require no less than a tap fit with their mating drive yoke
or flange. Make sure that shafts show no signs of twist.

Gear Wear Limits


Replace gears if teeth show any signs of abrasive wear,
scratching, ridging, scoring, surface fatigue, pitting, spalling,
corrosive wear, digging in or cracking. Always replace mated
spiral bevel gears, hypoid gears, differential pinion and side
gears in sets.
Gear backlash, which may be adjusted by shims (as in the case
of spiral bevels), must never exceed 0.46 mm (0.018 in.) rela-
tive to a gearset of fixed centers. Bull gears in dual-reduction
carriers have no adjustment. Therefore, at this point, the back-
lash can be as high as 0.76 mm (0.030 in.) before any serious
difficulty will be encountered.

Differential Spider Wear Limits


A slightly worn differential spider may be reused if:

• Wear does not exceed 0.127 mm (0.005 in.)


• Spider-to-pinion bore clearance does not exceed 0.178–
0.279 mm (0.007–0.011 in.)
• Wear surfaces are not scored, pitted, cracked or otherwise
damaged.

Install the spider in the opposite position. This will place the
original drive side, which experiences the most wear, on the
coast side, which has the lighter load.

22
Group 46 Bearings, Bushings and Thrust Washers

Bearings, Bushings and Thrust Washers


Check ball and roller bearings for:

• Flaking
• Cracks and fractures
• Cavities and indentations
• Staining
• Measurable Wear
• Brinelling
• Fretting
• Corrosion
• Banking
• Seizing
• Galling
• Scoring
• Arching
• Nicking
• Cage failures
Replace bearings if any of these conditions are present.
Tapered roller bearings are set up in a preload condition ac-
cording to adjustment specifications for each carrier. For reus-
able or run-in tapered bearings, adjust preload to one half the
value specified for new bearings.
If bearings pass inspection, dip them in the recommended dif-
ferential lubricant. Then wrap bearings in clean cloth or paper
until ready to reassemble the axle.
Bushings (inter-wheel power-divider driving cage) and thrust
washers must be replaced if they are pitted, scored or show
any signs of surface damage or have broken locking tabs. Do
not use tabbed thrust washers in a differential casing without
the blind hole provision. Latest versions of these differentials
are manufactured with thrust washers having tabs. Thrust
washers without tabs may be used in old casing halves having
the blind hole provision without any adverse effects.
Wear must not exceed 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) maximum. Thrust
washers must be replaced in sets. Combining old and new
thrust washers can cause premature failure.

Power Divider
The frictional forces created by loads imposed on the cams and
wedges cause moderate scoring on the highly stressed rubbing
surfaces of cam tracks. This is a normal condition. Replace the
affected cam and wedge items only if working surfaces are
badly worn, pitted, scored or cracked. Replace the driving cage
member if it is damaged or the wedge hole diameter has worn
more than 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) over the original limit.
Never run new wedges against a used inner cam or vice versa.
It is permissible, however, to use slightly worn outer cams and
driving cages during rebuild. Always replace wedges in
matched sets. Do not mix wedges from different sets.

23
Group 46 Axle Shafts

Axle Shafts
Inspect axle shafts for bends, torsional fractures or other condi-
tions that may result in failure. Inspect splines for wear, cracks
or distortion. If evidence of any of these conditions is found, in-
stall new parts.
Install each axle shaft between lathe centers. Using a dial indi-
cator, check shaft runout at the center and 152.4 mm (6 in.)
from each end. Discard shaft if total indicated runout (TIR) ex-
ceeds 1.5 mm (0.060 in.) at the center, or
0.76 mm (0.030 in.) at the end locations.
Position the dial indicator so that the indicator shaft contact
point contacts the inner surface near the outer edge. Then
check flange runout. Discard axle shaft if flange runout exceeds
0.20 mm (0.008 in.).

Cleaning
Clean parts with machined and polished surfaces (e.g., gears,
bearings and shafts) in a suitable solvent, such as kerosene or
diesel fuel.
Do not clean these parts in a hot solution tank or with water and
alkaline solutions such as sodium hydroxide, orthosilicates or
phosphates. Do not steam clean assembled drive units after
they have been removed from the housing. Steam cleaning
traps water in the cored passage of the castings and within
close clearances on and between parts. This can cause corro-
sion (rust) on critical parts of the assembly and rust particles cir-
culating in the lubricant. Steam cleaning can also lead to
premature failure of bearings, gears and other parts.

Note: Assembled drive units cannot be properly cleaned by


steam cleaning, dipping or slushing. For thorough cleaning, the
drive unit must be completely disassembled.

Complete Assemblies
Completely assembled axles may be steam cleaned on the out-
side only, to facilitate initial removal and disassembly. Breath-
ers, vented shift units, and all other openings must be tightly
covered or closed to prevent water from entering the assembly.

Disassembled Parts
Immerse all parts in suitable cleaning fluid and clean parts thor-
oughly. Use a stiff bristle brush to remove all old lubricant. Re-
move gasket particles which may adhere to mating faces of
axle housing, carrier housing, hubs and axle shaft flanges.
Clean out lubricant channels in the pinion cage and carrier
housing. Clean the housing breather. Make certain that the inte-
rior of the axle housing is thoroughly cleaned.

Bearings
The importance of proper bearing cleaning cannot be overem- 2 After old lubricant is loosened, hold bearing races so that the

score due to the absence of any lubricant.

24
Group 46 Rough Parts

Rough Parts
Rough parts, such as differential carrier castings, and cast
brackets may be cleaned in hot solution tanks with mild alkali
solutions, providing these parts are not machined or polished.
The parts must remain in the tank long enough to be thoroughly
cleaned and heated throughout. This will aid the evaporation of
the rinse water. After cleaning, rinse parts completely to remove
all traces of alkali.

CAUTION
Do not clean parts with highly volatile fluids such as gasoline
or harmful chemicals such as carbon tetrachloride. Also exer-
cise care to avoid skin rashes and inhalation of vapors when
using alkali cleaners.

Drying
Using moisture-free, compressed air, thoroughly dry component
parts immediately after cleaning and rinsing. If compressed air
is not available, use soft, clean, lintless absorbent paper towels
or clean wiping cloths that are free of abrasive material.

Corrosion Prevention
Parts that have been cleaned, dried and inspected and are to
be reassembled immediately must be coated with light oil to
prevent corrosion. If the parts will be stored for any length of
time, treat them with a good rust-preventive agent and wrap in
special paper or other material designed to prevent corrosion.

Gearset Updating
To assist field personnel in obtaining the desired bevel gearset
tooth contact, all service replacement bevel gear matched sets
are furnished with the desired tooth contact pattern indicated on
the gear teeth in yellow gear-marking compound.
Before proceeding with the installation of the replacement bevel
gearset, lift and transfer the tooth contact pattern onto a piece
of paper for reference when "setting up" the replacement gear-
set in the carrier. Use transparent tape (Scotch® brand or
equivalent) to make a transfer of the contact pattern.
Cut off a piece of tape slightly longer than the gear tooth. Place
the piece of tape on the gear tooth profile, sticky side down,
covering the total tooth length and depth. Rub the back of the
tape to ensure good contact between the tape and tooth. Do
not permit the tape to slide. Gently lift the tape off the gear tooth W4031754

and apply it to a piece of paper to transfer the tooth contact


pattern. Lifting Tooth Contact Pattern
Repeat the procedure on the opposite side of the gear tooth
and identify the tooth patterns as drive side and coast side. If
no tape is available, make a sketch of the patterns.

Check the tandem carrier for mismatched carrier ratios if any
of the following conditions occur:

• Tire scuffing or wear


• Noise in the power divider or shortened power divider life
• Noise in the transmission in various gears

Mismatched carrier ratios can transmit noise through the drive


line and transmission.

If mismatched carrier ratios are suspected, check the carrier


identification stampings for matched ratios.

If the stampings are compatible and mismatched ratios are still


suspected, mark the tandem axle tires with a piece of chalk so
that one complete wheel rotation can be monitored when the
chassis is moved across the floor. Also, mark the propeller
shaft and intermediate shaft yoke in reference to the pinion,
carrier or power divider housing.

CAUTION
Make sure the eight tandem rear tires are properly matched.

Setting the Bevel Pinion Preload


To perform at maximum efficiency, tapered roller bearings
must operate under a predetermined preload. This also en-
sures a rigid mounting for the gears.

Setting the Preload


Set bearing preload after the bevel pinion is assembled into
the housing. Apply 20,000 pounds (10 tons) of pressure to the
bearing in a hydraulic press. Rotate the pinion housing (bear-
ings) before applying full pressure to the bearings. This will
prevent premature bearing failure.

Note: Make sure to lubricate the bearings with oil before per-
forming the bearing preload check.

1
Wrap several turns of cord around the bevel pinion housing at
the pilot area. Attach scale J 8129, or equivalent, to the cord
and slowly and evenly pull on the scale until the housing ro-
tates. The correct load on the scale should be between 3 and 6
pounds for new bearings, and 2 to 4 pounds for used bearings.
If the reading on the scale is not within the correct specifica-
tions, it is necessary to replace the original spacer. Use a thin-
ner spacer if it takes less than the specified amount of pull to
rotate the housing. Use a thicker spacer if the required load ex-
ceeds specification.
Note: A thinner spacer increases preload.
A thicker spacer reduces preload.

Note: If bearings are in good condition, they can be reused for


W4032165 rebuilding a carrier. If used bearings are placed back into a car-
rier, a good rule of thumb is that the force needed to turn the
scale while under 20,000 pounds of preload is about one half
the requirement of new bearings. This is why used bearings
have a 2-4 pound specification rather than the 3-6 pounds
specified for new bearings.

When reusing the bevel pinion that was removed from the car-
rier, also use the shim pack that was removed at disassembly
upon reassembly and installation of the bevel pinion. When re-
building a carrier, it is sometimes necessary to use a new bev-
el pinion. When this occurs, use the following procedure:

• Determine the mounting distance on the disassembled bev-


el pinion (etched into original pinion) and compare it with
the mounting distance on the new bevel pinion (etched into
new pinion).
• If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is longer than the
old (higher number), this amount of shim will have to be
added to the new shim pack.
• If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is shorter than
the old (lower number), this amount of shim will have to be
removed from the shim pack.

For example: 4.878" OLD PINION - 4.875" NEW PINION =


0.003" SHIM DIFFERENCE In this case, remove 0.076 mm
(0.003 in.) from the original shim pack. This procedure pro-
vides a good starting point for setting the gear patterns.

To keep the housing rotating steadily, the correct load on the

When reusing the original bevel pinion, also reuse the shim

carrier.

• Determine the mounting distance on the disassembled bev-

• If so, use the following procedure: If the new bevel pinion

pack
• If the new bevel pinion mounting distance is shorter than
the old (lower number), this amount of shim will have to be

J 8129, or equivalent, to the cord and steadily pull on the scale
until the retainer rotates slowly and evenly. Begin rotating the

Setting the Gear Patterns


After setups for the bevel pinion and helical pinion subassem-
blies have been completed, the gear patterns must be properly
set. If the disassembly instructions for these subassemblies
have been followed as described, the existing shim pack thick-
ness should have been measured and recorded, providing a
basis on which to begin the gear pattern adjustment
procedure.

Note: The mounting distance stamped on the back of the bevel


pinion teeth represents the distance from the backface of the
head of the bevel pinion to the centerline of the bevel gear. The
mounting distance on the back of the bevel gear teeth repre-
sents the distance from the backface of the bevel gear to the
centerline of the bevel pinion. This number helps in determining
the shims which will have to be installed to achieve the desired
gear pattern.

2
Rotate at least two full turns in both directions while applying
braking force to the helical pinion. This will squeeze the gear-
marking compound away from the contact areas.
Note: In some cases, it may be necessary to slightly readjust
the setting made by the dial indicator to obtain the correct tooth
contacts. However, make sure that there are no dirt particles
under the shim packs and that all fasteners are tightened to the
proper torque. Then recheck the tooth contact pattern.

3
After reaching proper tooth contact pattern and gear backlash
limits, temporarily remove the bevel pinion and the helical (spur)
pinion shaft from the carrier housing. Wire the bevel pinion
shims together for use at final assembly. Wire the helical (spur)
pinion shaft assembly shims together to use when checking
tooth contact pattern between the helical (spur) pinion shaft as-
sembly and the bull gear.

Four-Pinion Type Differential — Reassembly


1
Using a suitable hydraulic press, press the bearing cones onto
the differential halves. Generously lubricate the bearing cones
and the internal components with GO-J lubricant.
Note: The bearing cones on the two sides of the differential
halves are different. The thicker bearing goes on the unsplined
half and the thinner bearing goes on the splined differential half.

Note: The differential bearing cup which fits the unsplined cas-
ing has an external flange which engages a machined surface
on the inner side of the bearing pedestal and cap when in-
stalled. This arrangement fixes the position of the differential
and bull gear and provides for differential bearing preload ad-
justment. The bull gear position cannot vary.

2
Apply GO-J lubricant to the thrust washer. Install the thrust
washer in the unsplined differential casing.

3
Apply GO-J lubricant to the unsplined differential casing and in-
stall the side gear into the casing.

4
Assemble the four pinion gears and the four thrust washers onto
the differential spider.

5
Install the pinion, spider and thrust washer assembly into the
unsplined side casing. Apply GO-J lubricant before installation.

6
Ensure the gears are properly engaged and that the pinion
thrust washer tabs are properly positioned in the casing.

7
Install the other side gear so that it meshes with the pinion and
spider assembly, applying GO-J lubricant before installing.

127

8
Install the remaining thrust washer after lubricating it with GO-J
lubricant.

9
Align the side casing halves with the match marks made at dis-
assembly and couple the casing halves together.

10
Mark the side casing halves with a marking pencil at the "o"
marked on the splined half. Mark the tooth between the "oo"
marks on the bull gear.

11
Align the match mark on the bull gear with that on the casing
halves. Index the bull gear internal splines with the external
splines on the differential side casing.
Note: Install a differential casing bolt in the match-mark hole to
help align and install the bull gear.

12
Apply Loctite 262, or equivalent, to four equally spaced casing
bolt threads. Place Loctite in the middle of the bolts as the bolts
extend through the casing.

13
Tighten the four equally spaced bolts evenly to pull the bull gear
onto the casing. Turn the bolts equally and evenly to pull gear
down before torquing.

14
Place the differential in a soft-jawed vise and install the remain-
ing eight bolts. Torque the bolts to specification.

15
Place Loctite 262 on the extended threads of the 12 (previously
installed) bolts used to retain the bull gear.

Group 46 Differential Carrier, Dissassemble-Assemble Bull Gear Tooth-Contact Pattern

Bull Gear Tooth-Contact Pattern


Earlier in this procedure, the helical pinion shaft was removed
and the differential was installed. Now, a measurement must
be taken for the bull gear tooth-contact pattern. This requires
reinstallation of the helical (spur) pinion shaft. Refer to “Helical
(Spur) Pinion Shaft — Reassembly”, page 115. Torque the old
bolts so the clamp plate is tight. This ensures the correct pre-
load on the bearings and an accurate measurement of the
gear tooth patterns.

1
Temporarily install the helical (spur) pinion shaft with spacer into
the carrier housing as previously outlined. Make certain to en-
gage the helical (spur) pinion with the bull gear.

2
Install the helical-pinion shaft bearing retainer with the predeter-
mined shim pack into the carrier housing.

CAUTION
Shim installation must not block top or bottom oil
passageways.

3
Install the bearing cone onto the end of the pinion shaft. The
bearing must be seated before attaching the clamp plate.

Rotate the bull gear in forward and reverse directions while applying resistance to the helical pinion set to determine the tooth
contact pattern. The pattern must be within the limits shown on the following Bull Gear Tooth-Contact Pattern Chart. The contact
pattern is either acceptable or unacceptable, because there is no adjustment option. If the gear tooth pattern is unacceptable, re-
place both the bull gear and the helical pinion with its shaft.

Note: The thickness of this gasket is critical because the gasket
seals the joint and determines how much pressure bears on the
outer bearing race to keep it from spinning.

1 Temporarily install the retainer over the through shaft and


press on it until the ridge bottoms on the outer bearing race.
2 Using feeler gauges J 26900-8 or equivalent, measure the
gap between the bearing cover and retainer flanges. Add
0.13-0.25 mm (0.005-0.010 in.) to the measured amount for
proper gasket thickness. This is done to provide enough
