Notes:  
     
Tapered roller bearings for differential are low-
friction bearings. Therefore friction torque can 
only be used for check measurement in a 
limited way. A correct adjustment is only 
possible by determining the total thickness 
"Sges". 
     Do not grease new tapered roller bearings 
additionally for friction torque measurement. 
The bearings are already greased with a 
special oil from the factory.
