-4. Determine the requifed thickness of the 32 mm
shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in thestep -3 from the total thickness of the four shims.(Total thickness of the 4 shims) - (Clearance) =
Required thickness of the shims
NOTE: Select the shims so that th6 total thicknessis close to, but less than the required thickness.
Exampls:
Measu.ement is 0.28 mm (0.011 in):
0.70 - 0.28 = 0.42 mm (0.028 - 0.011 = 0.0't7 in)
The selected shims should be 0.25 mm (O.O1O in) and0.15 mm (0.005 in) in thickness.
lf the required shim thickness is 0.lO mm or less, no
shims are necessary.
i[9. Set the selected 32 mm shims on the bearing sur-face of the g€arbox housing.
