350 B final drive

Post by timmtnman » Mon Sep 24, 2018 4:44 pm

Just replaced bearings and cups on upper shaft. How do you check how much free play the shaft needs. I took out four shims, two large and two medium ones. I'm replacing with new ones. Thanks for any help.

Add excess shims so there is freeplay. Measure freeplay with a dial indicator, remove adequate shims to get proper preload.
