Abstract
A method of setting a bearing system is provided, The method includes applying a first set-up load to the bearing system. The method also includes measuring a first set-up clearance value between a cup carrier of at least one of a first tapered roller bearing and a second tapered roller bearings and a housing. The method further includes applying a second set-up load to the bearing system. The method includes measuring a second set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing. The method also includes determining a final set-up clearance value between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing. The method further includes positioning a shim between the cup carrier of at least one of the first and second tapered roller bearings and the housing.
