Absolutely fantastic video! It’s always a special treat to watch someone really experienced and professional work!

This is the first final drive video I've seen were the tolerances are actually checked. Nice job!

Very comprehensive, you make it seem simple but you've obviously done a ton of these, mine has not failed but I do have matierial on the drain plug and gear oil on my rear wheel.

I seen all the vids about the BMW final drives and every time missed the shim adjustment because I know as a mechanic that the clearance of a pinion/crown drive is crucial. Only this one explains the BMW specs. Thanks.

The backlash is very important, I can understand that it can already be wrong from factory.

Individual if you come up with the gear marking fluid (prussian blue) than you must realise that its not for clearance but for lining out gears and you not have to use it here to check a contact/view between crown/pinion because you can not change the lining of this crown/pinion wheel assembly anyway. The prussian blue gear marking fluid is more used with bigger industrial transmissions to check if the wear is spread out equally over the wide of the tooths.

I do it anyway. The drive on my K75 is similar and also the measurements. But it was more than 10 years ago. Someone had used a pressure washer, water comes in and destroys all bearings. Now 160 000 km on the meter and runs fine.

Very nice and useful video. Thank you a lot for sharing this information.

The backlash has to be between 0,07 and 0,16 mm. He did not show the measurement but you just have to measure that clearance on the diameter of the crown with a micrometer clock. You may want to repeat the whole proces until you find the best shim. This guy is a professional so he will not show the whole proces because you will need some technical background to get the measuring job done and those guys that have a measuring clock will know how to use that anyway.

Thanks very much. Very clear and makes you understand why your taking each step. Does the author or anyone else have input regarding shimming and the pinion position. Is that done with gear marking fluid. If in fact you replace the pinion bearings.
@alargiader73965 жыл бұрын
Yes, pinion position (tooth contact pattern) can be checked with ink and shimmed. BMW marks the housings and gearsets in such a way that you can generally select the correct shim the first time, though.

Is it better to error on a thinner shim for the bearing compression if you cant get it to exact BMW specs?

Pinion nut is 200 Nm. Cover screws are 35 Nm for this style. Pinion retainer rings vary by style but go from about 120 to 200 Nm.
