If values signifying H, D¢ and S are not given, regard them as
zero and calculate. T (Thickness of washer)

7. Select the proper washer. (Refer to PD-57.)
If you cannot find the desired thickness of washer, use washer
with thickness closest to the calculated value.
Example:
Calculated value ... T = 3.19 mm
Used washer ... T = 3.18 mm

6. Adjust dial indicator scale to zero.
7. Carefully slide master gauge and weight block out from under dial indicator.
8. Lubricate side bearing and place the bearing outer race and inner cone to be measured on the opposite side outer race.
If the bearing assembly is placed on the base plate, the bear-
ing width cannot be accurately determined due to its cage
being in contact with the base plate.
9. Place weight block (ST32501000) on side bearing.
10. Slide dial indicator on weight block.
11. Turn weight block a few times to ensure that bearing is prop- erly seated.
12. Read dial indicator.

I If the needle fluctuates erratically then bearing is either dirty or
defective and should be cleaned or replaced.

Tooth Contact
Gear tooth contact pattern check is necessary to verify correct
relationship between ring gear and drive pinion.
Hypoid gear sets which are not positioned properly in relation to
one another may be noisy, or have short life span or both. With a
pattern check, the most desirable contact for low noise level and
long life can be assured.
1. Thoroughly clean ring gear and drive pinion teeth.
2. Sparingly apply a mixture of powdered ferric oxide and oil orequivalent to 3 or 4 teeth of ring gear drive side.
3. Hold companion flange steady by hand and rotate the ring gear in both directions.
