General

General

The work description applies to two central


gears, RP730 and RP731. RP730 is fitted in a
rear axle whereas RP731 is fitted in a front
driving axle. The component parts, setting and
test values and tightening torques are the same
for both central gears. Where there are
differences, this is indicated at the relevant
point in the description. The main difference is
in the conical gear set in that RP731 is a mirror
image of RP730. Because of the reverse
direction of rotation, the teeth of the gear set
(crown wheel and pinion) are cut differently.

Safety

! WARNING!

Both the chassis and moving axle


suspension components must be
secured against falling with stands to
ensure absolute safety when working
under a vehicle.

Setting press force

Setting press force

The press force attained depends directly on the


hydraulic pressure from the air operated pump
99 004. The hydraulic pressure delivered by the
pump depends on the input air pressure, which
is governed by a pressure regulator.
The air pressure can be changed with a knob.
Pull the red snap ring towards the knob and set
the desired pressure which can be read on the
pressure gauge.
A chart on the pump housing specifies the
desired press force from the hydraulic cylinder
as a function of the air pressure input to the
pump. The chart is shown below. 1 Compressed air connection.
2 Pressure gauge.
3 Adjusting knob for air pressure.
4 Pump housing chart.

Set the press force to 120 kN (12 tons) as


follows:
1 Follow the press force axis (the bottom
axis) to the right until you reach 120 kN.
2 Then follow the line straight up until it cuts
the bold diagonal line. Draw a horizontal
line to the left from this intersection. This
gives a value of 5.2 bars, which is the
pressure required for 120 kN press force.

Oil and cleanliness

Oil
For the correct oil grade, refer to Workshop
Manual Oils, fluids and lubricants in main
group 0.

! WARNING!

Use protective goggles when draining


oil from the central gear and hub
reduction gears. Oil can spray out at
high pressure.

Help protect our environment. Dispose of


excess oil in accordance with workshop
procedures and local regulations.

Cleanliness
Cleanliness is extremely important when
working with central gears. Contamination
reduces their service life considerably. Always
clean the outside of the central gear housing
and rear axle housing before removing the
central gear. Before reassembling the central
gear, all parts, old as well as new, should be
cleaned.

! WARNING!

Never work under a vehicle with air


suspension, which is not fully secured
against falling, in case there is a change
of pressure in the air bellows. There is a
risk of getting trapped and injured.
Both the chassis and moving axle
suspension components must be
secured against falling with stands to
ensure absolute safety when working
under a raised vehicle.

• Take the load off the axle housing before


removing the central gear.
• Vehicles with leaf spring suspension must
be supported under the frame or springs as
illustrated.

! WARNING!

Use protective goggles when draining


oil. Oil can spray out at high pressure if
the rear axle housing ventilation is
blocked.

1 Drain the oil from the axle housing (also


refer to the oil section).

IMPORTANT! There is a very high risk of the


central gear housing being damaged if the
pinion is pressed out and is allowed to drop
freely onto the press table.

Illustration Comments on the illustrations


1 Remove the nut.
2 Remove the end yoke, attach 98 322 to the pinion and move the gear to a press.
3 Take great care when pressing out the pinion so that it does not damage the
differential housing bearing seat. Press gradually and check that the pinion does
not come into contact with the differential housing bearing seat. Keep the
spacing sleeve, shims and spacing ring.
4 Cut off the pinion bearing roller cage.
Grind a groove in the bearing race using a grinding wheel with a diameter below
60 mm. Make sure the pinion is not damaged.
5 Weld a few beads on the bearing race with an electric welder. Protect the pinion
from welding spatter with a wet rag. Cool with wet rag after each weld bead. The
bearing race will break through shrinkage after 4-5 welds.
6 Oil the sliding surfaces and press on a new pinion bearing.

Figure 1:
• Fit the shims that were used earlier under

• Lubricate the running surface of the setting
ring and fit it instead of the bearing race.
• Fit the pinion and rotate it a few turns.
Figure 2:
• A = Two-digit deviation measurement in
hundredths of a mm which is always
positive (B = parallel operation number
which is also stamped on the end of the
pinion).
• The pinion setting dimension is (A + 0.5)
+/-0.05.
Figure 3:
• Place the pinion position template vertical
and parallel with the centre-line of the
differential.
• Measure the setting dimension of the
pinion as illustrated.
• Example: The number 37 is on the crown
wheel. This will give a setting dimension
of 0.37 + 0.5 = 0.87. The distance between
the end face of the pinion and the pinion
position template must therefore be 0.82 -
0.92 mm.
• Adjust if necessary by changing shims.
Shims are available in thicknesses 0.25,
0.30 and 0.40.

Note: Start by turning the gear housing on the

Figure 1:
• Fit the spacing sleeve, adjusting sleeve and
spacing ring (that was used earlier under
the outer bearing) and dummy bearing.
Screw 99 040 onto the pinion and fit the
other tools as illustrated.
• Set the press force to 100 - 120 kN. Rotate
the pinion to and fro while pressing so that
the bearing rollers take their correct
positions.
Figure 2:
• Using a spring balance, check that the
bearing preload is 10 - 15 Nm (3 0- 45 N
on the spring balance) for new bearings
and 3 - 4 Nm (9-12 N on the spring
balance) for used bearings. Adjust where
necessary by replacing shims or spacing
rings.
• Shims are available in thicknesses of 0.25,
0.30, 0.40 and 0.50 mm.
• Spacing rings are available in lengths
15.80, 15.82, 15.84, 15.86 and 15.88 mm.
• When the bearing preload is correct,
change the dummy bearing for the pinion

turn.
8 Screw in the adjusting ring A until the
clearance is 0.20 - 0.28 mm. It is better to
be closer to 0.20 mm as the clearance can
increase slightly when the cap bolts are
tightened. Screw in the set screw so that the
tapered point on the set screw contacts the
lugs of the adjusting ring. Then undo the

2 - 3 notches. Screw in the set screw so that
the tapered point on the set screw contacts
the lugs of the adjusting ring. Then undo

Adjusting backlash and bearing preload

11 Check that the backlash is still within


0.20 - 0.28 mm. If the backlash is too great,
undo the cap bolts slightly. Unscrew the
adjusting ring B one half turn, and then
screw in the adjusting screw A until the
backlash is correct again. Screw in the set
screw as described in step 8. Then screw in
the adjusting ring B by hand until it starts
to feel tight, and then a further 2-3 notches.
Screw in the set screw as described in step
8. Then tighten the cap bolts again to
120 Nm and check the backlash at four
points. If the clearance is less than
0.20 mm, it is necessary to start again from
step 6 before the clearance can be reduced
again.
12 Tighten the cap bolts a further 60°, then
check the backlash again and lock the
adjusting rings with the set screws.
Tightening torque 10 Nm.

Checking mesh image

Checking mesh image RP730

IMPORTANT! The mesh image confirms that


the teeth are correctly set. A poor mesh image
can lead to damage to the teeth and noise.

1 Apply a thin film of colour marker on two


adjacent crown wheel teeth. Turn the
crown wheel one half turn and repeat the
procedure.
2 Make sure the colour marker makes
contact with the pinion. Rotate the end
yoke a few turns in both directions. Brake
the crownwheel with your hand at the same
time.
Figure 1:
• Check that the mesh image on the leading
and trailing flanks of the teeth corresponds
to the pictures.
• 1 = correct mesh image on driving side of
crown wheel, convex side.
• 2 = correct mesh image on trailing flank of
crown wheel, concave side.
Figure 2:
• The mesh image should be in the centre of
the tooth flank when a vertical
measurement from the tooth is carried out.
At the same time the horizontal mesh
image should not be outside the marked
areas.
• 1 = driving side
• 2 = trailing flank (brake side)
• A = top of tooth.

in A or B. Be careful around the holes.
5 Fit a new O-ring onto the piston. Lubricate
the O-ring, piston and cylinder using
grease 319 308 as illustrated in A and B.
6 Screw the unit into the gear housing and
tighten to 20 Nm.
7 Fit the switch. Tightening torque 20 Nm.
8 Connect air to the operation unit and
measure the clearance in the gear mesh.
The clearance should be 0.1 - 1.1 mm. The
clearance cannot be adjusted. If the
clearance is not correct, the components of
the operation unit should be examined and,
if necessary, renewed.
