ssr 09330-ooo20
Torque: 1,425 kg-cm (103 ft-lb, 140 N'ml
12. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the back-
lash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload: New bearing 6.5 - 12.5 kg-cm
(5.6 - 10.9 in.-lbl
(0.6 - 1.2 N'ml
Reused bearing 4 - 7 kg-cm
(3.5 - 6.1 in.-lbl
(0.4 - 0.7 N'ml
lf preload is exceeds specification, replace the bear-
ing spacer.
lf preload is less than specification, retighten the nut
130 kg-cm (9 ft-lb, 13 N.m) at a time until the
specified preload is reached.
lf the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the
nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload pro-
cedure. Do not back off the pinion nut to reduce the
preload.
Maximum torque: 2,4OO kg-cm
(174 ft-lb, 235 N'm)
