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.

(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.

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):

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)
