MTE Bevel Gear Fitting

Manual Tool Ejector (MTE) Bevel Gear Fitting Notes

When fitting the bevel gear sets used in Lucas Manual Tool Ejector assemblies, care must be taken to assure that the bevel gears are properly meshed to give maximum tooth engagement (for strength) while still having sufficient backlash to prevent difficult rotation and a subsequent 'bony' feeling to the gears.

The proper fit of these bevel gears is obtained by simply pushing the driven gear FIRMLY into contact with the driver gear - then backing the driven gear out 0.010" - and adjusting the fitting spacers to suit.
