PACKING/SHIM INSTALLATION

1.

When only removing and reinstalling the axle shaft, the
same thickness and number of shims as before should
be used.

2.

When replacing the axle shaft or the wheel bearing, select
the packing(s) and shim(s) to adjust the bearing outer
retainer tightening condition by the following procedure.
(1) Insert the axle shaft assembly into the axle housing

without packing(s) and shim(s). Temporarily tighten
the installation nuts to half of specified torque (until
the bearing outer race contacts the axle housing)
evenly in diagonal order in two steps.

(2) Use a thickness gauge to measure the clearance

between the axle housing and the backing plate, and
then select the packing(s) and shim(s) according to
the following table.

NOTE
New packing is 0.27 mm to 0.33 mm in thickness,
and new shim is 0.3 mm in thickness.
