Bevel Gear Tooth Contact Inspection
S6RW0C3306011
1) After cleaning tooth surface of bevel gear (1), paint
them with gear marking compound evenly by using
brush or sponge etc.
NOTE
When applying red lead paste to teeth, be
sure to paint tooth surfaces uniformly. The
paste must not be too dry or too fluid.
2) Install transfer output retainer assembly referring to
“Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly”.
3) Turn transfer output flange clockwise and
counterclockwise repeatedly, and remove transfer
output retainer assembly and bevel gear shims from
transfer assembly.
4) Bring painted part up and check contact pattern
referring to the following chart. If contact pattern is
not normal, readjust or replace as necessary
according to instruction in chart.
NOTE
• Be careful not to turn bevel gear more than
one full revolution, for it will hinder
accurate check.
• If bevel gear back lash and bevel pinion
shims are adjusted properly, correct tooth
contact should be provided.
If correct tooth contact is not provided
even when they are adjusted properly,
however, there may be an abnormal
condition in worn tooth, transfer case or
retainer. Check each component and
replace as necessary.
