(c) Turn the gear counterclockwise and clockwise sev-
eral times.
(d) Using a torque meter, measure the preload of the
drive pinion.
Drive pinion preload (at starting):
New bearing
10 - 16 kg-cm
(8.7 - 13.9 in.-lb, 1.0 - 1.6 N-m)
Reused bearing
5 - 8 kg-cm
(4.3 - 6.9 in.-lb, 0.5 - 0.8 N-m)
If the preload is greater than specified,
replace the bearing spacer.
If the preload is less than specified, retigh-
ten the nut 130 kg-cm (9 ft-lb, 13 N-m) at
a time until the specified preload is
reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the
nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload
procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
Maximum torque: 3,600 kg-cm (260 ft-lb, 353 N-m)
(e) If the preload is adjusted within specification, make
a note of it.
(f) Stake the lock nut.
