Backlash Measurement for the Pinion Shaft Spline (A) Distance of the dial indicator from the centerline of the pinion.Note: To ensure correct assembly and correct adjustment, measure the rolling torque of the bevel gear group at the pinion shaft. For new bearings, the rolling torque should be 1.8 to 7.4 N m (16 to 65 lb in). For used bearings, the rolling torque should be 0.9 to 3.7 N m (8 to 33 lb in).26. Place a dial indicator tangent to the spline, as shown. Make sure that the yoke or the spline adapter is tight to the spline. Measure the backlash between bevel gear (25) and the pinion shaft. The backlash measurement must be 0.30 + 0.12 − 0.10 mm (.012 + .005 − .004 inch).
