9. CHECK DRIVE PINION BEARING PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the
backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting) :
New bearing 10 ± 16 kg±cm
(8.7 ± 13.9 in.±Ib, 1.0 ± 1.6 N±m)
Reused bearing 5 ± 8 kg±cm
(4.3 ± 6.9 in.±Ib, 0.5 ± 0.8 N±m)
wIf preload is greater than specification, replace the
bearing spacer.
wIf preload is less than specification, retighten the nut
130 kg±cm (9 ft±Ib, 13 N±m) at a time until the speci-
fied preload is reached.
1f the maximum torque is exceed while retightening the
nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload
procedure. Do not back off the pinion nut to reduce the
preload.
Maximum torque: 2,400 kg±cm (174 ft±lb, 235 N±m)(b) Remove the bearing spacer.
6. INSTALL NEW BEARING SPACER AND FRONT
BEARING

propeller shaft with the four bolts, washers and nuts.
(b) Torque the bolts and nuts.
Torque: 760 kg±cm (54 ft±Ib, 74 N±m)
13. CHECK OIL LEVEL
Oil grade: AN GL±5 hypoid gear oil
Viscosity: Above ± 18
°C (0°F) SAE 90

2. CHECK COMPANION FLANGE RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the lateral and radial
runout of the companion flange.
Maximum lateral runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
Maximum radial runout: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the
companion flange.
4. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, check the backlash of the ring
gear.
Backlash: 0.13 mm ± 0.18 mm (0.0051 ± 0.0071 in.)
If the backlash is not within specification, adjust the
side bearing preload. 3. CHECK RING GEAR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the ring
gear.
Maximum runout: 0.07 mm (0.0028 in.)
If the runout is greater than the maximum, replace the
ring gear.
