ADJUSTING REAR SHIMMING
|
|
|
|
Unlike the front mounting, the rear can only be
dismantled completely after stripping the primary
transmission as described in Section C13 and
C14.The shims can, however, be changed at the right
side only without the need for this further work.
The normal method of shimming, after the clearance
has been checked following Section F14, is:
|
|
|
|
1
|
Remove the self-locking nut and washer from the
right end of the main mounting stud.
|
|
2
|
Using a soft metal drift drive the mounting stud
partially through, right to left until it protrudes
some 4 in. from the left hand side.
|
|
|
|
3
|
Slide the right gaiter lip off the mounting tube
then push down and rearwards clear of the frame the
gaiter, spacing collar and polyurethane washer as a
group.
|
|
4
|
Collect the right side shims and end cap.
Examine the polyurethane washer tor excessive wear
and replace if necessary.
|
|
|
|
As with the front mounting, the thickness of
shims required should be determined from the
measurement at the time of stripping as against the
ideal clearance 0.010 in. (0.025 mm). For example,
to correct a clearance of 0.030 in., a single 0.020
in. shim would need to be added. Reassemble as
follows:
|
|
|
|
5
|
Clean and grease lightly the parts of the right
end cap/gaiter group, using a silicone grease such
as Releasil No. 7.
