circumference of the ring gear.
If the backlash is not within the specification, adjust the side
bearing preload or repair as necessary.
4. MEASURE DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
(a) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting):
0.7 − 1.0 N·m (7 − 10 kgf·cm, 6.1 − 8.7 in.·lbf)
(b) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload. Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
w/o Differential lock
0.4 − 0.6 N·m (4 − 6 kgf·cm, 3.5 − 5.2 in.·lbf)
w/ differential lock
0.3 − 0.7 N·m (3 − 7 kgf·cm, 2.6 − 6.1 in.·lbf)
