TRUCK SERVICE MANUAL
AXLE-REAR
For Example:
If temporary thin rings used to measure end play were
.290" each for a total of .580" and the end play is .005",
then .580" plus .005" end play equals .585" (or zero end
play).
Here an additional .020" (interference) would be required
to preload the bearings or a total of .605" thicker split
rings.
The total of .605" may be divided between the two
rings such as .300" and .305".
F.
It should be understood that the .017" to .022"
interference of which we speak is not bearing preload
torque but that it is the amount of interference required to
establish bearing preload torque within the desirable
limits.
COMPLETE ASSEMBLY AS FOLLOWS:
A.
Insert one split ring in carrier leg groove.
Move
differential assembly over so that face of bearing cup is
held tightly against inserted ring.
Rings should be
positioned in carrier leg grooves so that split portion will
locate in center of cap.
