 After taking the gearbox into operation again, it turned out that the radial clearance of the half-shaft bearings was too high. These bearings can be tightened by turning the toothed bearing ring, which is also visible on the two pictures above. A special tool is required to turn it. Since this tool was not available, I had to make my own one, out of an old bearing ring:

+A skilled mechanics guy (i.e. not me) used this tool to adjust the bearing clearance. He was quite successful. What however remained is a decent humming noise at very low speed, that occurs when accelerating. It depends on the speed of the wheels, not the motor, so it must come from differential gears, half-shafts or wheels bearings.
