Nobbly 22 2 Cars Posted June 14, 2018 Hi All, I'm currently rebuilding my BE3 'box and see some spacers on the parts diagram that sit next to the diff bearing. I assumed these are for adjusting the preload on the taper bearings, so bought the set from Peugeot. However, my 'box didn't have a spacer in when I stripped it??? So two questions for the guru's out there: Should it have a spacer? What should the adjustment figure be? Thanks, Nobbly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thijs_Rallye 87 4 Cars Posted June 14, 2018 At the later BE3 boxes the tail piece (where the speedo drive resides) has been machined in such a way that there always is sufficient preload on the bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nobbly 22 2 Cars Posted June 14, 2018 Doh! Anyone want a kit of spacers? They were nearly the most expensive item in the whole job. Maybe my friendly dealer will take them back... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
