TM 5-3805-260-24DIFFERENTIAL AND CARRIER ASSEMBLY (LOCK TYPE)d) If bevel pinion shaft is too near to centerof bevel gear, short heel contact willresult as shown. The teeth of pinion ill be incontact with toe ends of concave faces (partthat makes a curve toward the inside) andthe heel ends of convex faces (part thatmakes a curve toward the outside). Tocorrect this, move pinion shaft away fromgear by an increase of the shim thicknessbetween pinion cage and carrier. After thisis done, check gear clearance (backlash)and tooth contact again.NOTE: Several adjustments of both pinion and bevelgear can be needed before correct tooth contact settingand gear clearance (backlash) is made. Alwaysremember that a change to gear clearance (backlash)will also change the tooth contact setting. Be sure gearclearance (backlash) is in correct adjustment beforetooth contact is checked.e)After correct gear clearance (backlash) andtooth contact setting is made, remove extraprussian blue, red lead or paint from bevelgear and pinion.30.Remove the guide bolts and install theremainderof bolts (32) to hold the pinion shaft housing tothe carrier assembly.31.Install the locks and bolts for the adjustmentnuts. Install the lockwire to hold bolts (33) andthe bolts for the adjustment nuts.32.Put jaw (31) in position in the differential groupand install the two bolts (34) and the lockwire tohold the jaw in position.CORRECT TOOTH CONTACT SETTINGSHORT TOE CONTACT SETTINGSHORT HEEL CONTACT SETTING3-245
