Chery A15. Manual — part 290

(2) The measured value shall comply
with requirements.

IV. Differential bearing
adjustment/adjusting washer
Measure and adjust the preload on
differential side gear during gearbox
maintenance, especially after the
replacement of the following
components:
Drive gear
Clutch body
Differential body
Differential bearing
(1) Unfix the bearing cover.
(2) Press a new bearing outer ring into
the clutch body outer casing.
(3) Press a new bearing outer ring into
the gearbox body.
(4) Lubricate the differential bearing
with gearbox oil. Fix the differential
assembly onto the gearbox body. Fix the
clutch bell housing onto gearbox. The
screwing torque is 29N.m.
(5) Place the gearbox on the worktable
with the clutch body outer casing facing
down. Fix the dial indicator with C-
shape pliers.
(6) Apply one moderate torque onto the
differential with T spanners and turn the
differential assembly to and fro until the
bearing is set in place.
Reset the dial indicator and read the
axial clearance. Apply a certain load
from front and rear while turning the
differential assembly (Figure 85).
Record the axial clearance.

Bearing Clearance and Measuring the
Gasket Thickness

(7) Use gaskets to the extent that they
can come into close contact with the
bearing.
(8) Screw off the bolts in the gearbox
body. Dismantle the clutch cover and
differential roller bearing outer ring. Fix
the selected gaskets (Step 7) and then
push the roller bearing outer ring into the
clutch body.
(9) Install the clutch outer casing and
screw the set bolts with a torque of
26N.m.
(10) Check the torque on the differential
assembly with the special tool and
torque spanner (Figure 86) and torque
shall be 6-12 in.lbs. Fix one gasket
0.05mm (0.002 inch) in thickness if the
torque is too big and an even thicker
gasket if the torque is too small.

(11) Check the torque. Repeat (Step 10)
until an appropriate torque is obtained.
Place the gearbox onto the side plate and
the gasket onto the flange. Fix clutch
body outer casing onto the gearbox and
screw the bolts with a torque of 29N.m.



V. Unfixing the differential bearing
cover
(1) Unfix the differential assembly from
the gearbox.
(2) Fix Tool 4518 onto the differential
bearing outer ring (Figure 87).

(4) Screw tight the tool until the outer
ring is unfixed from the gearbox casing.

VI. Fixing the differential bearing
cover
(1) Place the bearing outer ring onto the
gearbox casing.
(2) Fix the bearing outer ring with the
special tool.
(3) Fix the differential bearing outer ring
onto the drive casing with the tool.

Section Six: Drainage and Adding of Gearbox Lubricating Oil

The oil filler plug is located on the left
of the gearbox differential (Figure 89).
The car shall be located horizontally and
oil level shall not be 4mm lower than the
oil inlet.

The gearbox oil drain is located on the
lower right corner of the gearbox
differential (Figure 90).
Screw tight the oil drain plug with a
torque of 28N.m (250in.lbs).

Add an appropriate amount of gearbox
oil into the gearbox and clean away the
lubricating oil on the outer surface of the
gearbox.
Add ATF+4 hydraulic oil into the
manual gearbox.
