    the unit itself doesnt need setting up but it must be installed correctly, the bearings need the correct preload and the crown wheel he correct depth of mesh and backlash, other wise it will be either clonky/noisy, wreck the bearings or the whole thing can turn into a pile of scrap

    I'm happy to be disproved though..
