Geoff,
Thanks.......yes you are correct. In essence there are 2 adjustments. One,
for the bearings using the distance washers that come in different
thicknesses, and the second with the brass shims between the cases. If
either or both are off, then this will affect the CW mesh/lash.
When dismantling it took me some 10 minutes of careful tapping to split the
case and not damage the brass shims. That is what I meant when I said this
is a hard adjustment to make. Hopefully the original shims will do the
trick.
This rear axle seems to have suffered at the hands of some strange people.
Apart from the distance washer already discussed, the main carrier to the
axle itself had 1/2 the studs stripped or broken. I realized this as I was
unbolting it. I will have to drill and tap new threads.
The CW/P are actually in amazingly in good shape.
Thanks
