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):

ing spacer.

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)
