A bevel gear shimming gage is provided for determining the shim sizes for the bearings supporting the gears within a bevel gear housing. A first main housing abuts against a first bearing, a first bearing support abuts against a second bearing and a first gaging rod is received through registering apertures in the first bearing support and the first main housing and provides a means whereby the axial distance between a gaging rod reference point and a first main housing reference point may be determined. In addition, the gaging rod provides a means whereby the axial distance between reference points on the gaging rod and the bearing supports may be determined. Similarly, a second main housing abuts against a third bearing, a second bearing support abuts against a fourth bearing, while a second gaging rod is received through registering apertures in the second bearing support and the second main housing and provides a means whereby the distance between reference points associated between the second main housing and the second gaging rod and between the second gaging rod and the second bearing support may be readily determined. Once the above distances have been measured, simple computations then yield the required shim dimensions for each bearing.
