STEP 8
Install a total thickness of .020" of Shims onto Hub Cap. Mount the Hub Caps on the Housing and install four Bolts, placing them in every other bolt hole, and tighten. Check the rotation of the Gear mesh. The Gear set should turn smoothly with little noise. The maximum backlash of Gear Mesh should not exceed .022 inches. By adding Shims to Hub Cap the backlash may be increased, or it may be reduced by removing Shims .
