11. Adjust the preload of driving bevel gear bearing
Measure the play preload between the driving bevel gear and
the driven bevel gear with the torque tester.
Preload:(1.8-2.4)Nm
Remark: if the requirement is not satisfied, change the
adjusting washer between the adjusting washer jackets and
bearing 32307, see the disassembly and assembly for front
speed reducer, until the requirement is satisfied.
(a) If the preload is larger than the specified value, change
with a thicker adjusting washer;
(b) If the preload is smaller than the specified value,
change with a thinner adjusting washer.
9. Mount the new driving bevel gear oil seal:
(a) Encase the oil-guard tray.
(b) Press the new oil seal in the speed reducer shell with the
special service tool; the mounted oil seal should be 1.5
mm away from the end face of the housing.
