wise and counterclockwise several times to mark the bearing
smooth.

bearing cap bolts 2 or 3 turns and press down the bearing cap
by hand.
HINT:
If the bearing cap does not fit tightly on the carrier , the adjusting
nuts are not threaded properly.

be turned by SST.
SST 09504−00011
Torque: 78 N·m (800 kgf·cm, 58 ft·lbf)
(b) Fully tighten the 4 bearing cap bolts by hand.
(c) Using the SST, torque the adjusting nut on the ring gear side until the ring has a backlash of about 0.2 mm (0.008
in.).
(d) With turning the ring gear, use the SST to fully tighten the adjusting nut on the drive pinion side. After the bearings
are settled, loosen the adjusting nut on the drive pinion
side.
(e) Place a dial indicator on the top of the adjusting nut on the ring gear side.
(f) Adjust the side bearing for zero preload by tightening the
other adjusting nut until the pointer on the indicator be-
gins to move.
(g) Torque the adjusting nut 1 − 1.5 notches from the zero preload position.

nuts equal amounts. For example, loosen the nut on the left
side one notch and torque the nut on the right side one notch.
(i) Torque the 4 bearing cap bolts. Torque: 78 N·m (800 kgf·cm, 58 ft·lbf)
(j) Recheck the ring gear backlash. Backlash: 0.13 −0.18 mm (0.0051 −0.0071 in.)
(k) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
0.4 − 0.6 N·m (4 − 6 kgf·cm, 3.5 − 5.2 in.·lbf)
17. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR AND DRIVE PINION

24. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the backlash
between the drive pinion and ring gear. Preload (at starting):

Reused bearing:
0.5 − 0.8 N·m (5 − 8 kgf·cm, 4.3 − 6.9 in.·lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the bear-
ing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten the nut a
little at a time with a torque of 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) until
the specified preload is reached. Maximum torque: 343 N·m (3,500 kgf·cm, 253 ft·lbf)
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not back off the pinion nut to reduce the preload.
25. RECHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
26. RECHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION
27. CHECK RUNOUT OF COMPANION FLANGE
28. STAKE DRIVE PINION NUT
29. INSTALL ADJUSTING NUT LOCKS
(a) Install 2 new nut locks on the bearing caps. Torque: 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf)
(b) After tightening bolts, bend the nut locks.
