REASSEMBLY
NOTICE:
When working with FIPG material, you must observe the follow-
ing items.
Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old
FIPG material from the gasket surfaces.
Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the loose
material.
Clean both sealing surfaces with a non−residue solvent.
Apply FIPG in an approx. 1 mm (0.04 in.) wide bead along
the sealing surface.
Parts must be assembled within 10 minutes of application.
Otherwise, the FIPG material must be removed and reap-
plied.
HINT:
Coat all of the sliding and rotating surfaces with gear oil before
reassembly.
1. ASSEMBLE TRANSFER PINION BEARING CAGE
(a) Install the transfer pinion bearing cage.
(1) Install a new bearing spacer.
HINT:
Insert the spacer with the smaller diameter facing upwards.
(2) Using SST and a press, install the rear bearing.
HINT:
Press down until the pinion can move slightly up and down.
SST 09316−60011 (09316−00021)
(b) Adjust the driven pinion preload.
(1) Using SST, install and torque a new lock nut.
SST 09326−20011
Torque: 95 N·m (968 kgf·cm, 70 ft·lbf)
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 38 cm (14.96
in.).
The torque specification for without using SST is 108 N·m
(1,100 kgf·cm, 80 ft·lbf).

(2) Using SST and a spring tension gauge, measure
the driven pinion preload.
SST 09326−20011
HINT:
Turn the driven pinion right and left 2 or 3 times to allow the
bearing to settle.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
17.7 − 28.4 N (1.8 − 2.9 kgf, 4.0 − 6.4 lbf)
Reused bearing
4.9 − 8.8 N (0.9 − 1.4 kgf, 1.1 − 2.0 lbf)
If the preload exceeds than the specification, re-
place the bearing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten
the nut 5−10° gradually a time until the specified
preload is reached.
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retighten-
ing the nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat
the preload procedure. Do not back off the pinion
nut to reduce the preload.
Torque: 214 N·m (2,184 kgf·cm, 158 ft·lbf) or less
HINT:
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 50 cm (19.69
in.).
The maximum torque specification for without using SST
is 235 N·m (2,400 kgf·cm, 174 ft·lbf).
(c) Stake the lock nut.
2. ASSEMBLE RING GEAR MOUNTING CASE
(a) Install the transfer ring gear.
(1) Clean the contact surface of the mounting case.
(2) Heat the ring gear to about 100°C (212°F) in boiling
water.
(3) Carefully take the ring gear out of the water.
(4) Clean the contact surface of the ring gear with
cleaning solvent.
(5) Quickly install the ring gear on the mounting case.
HINT:
Align the matchmarks on the mounting case and connect the
ring gear.
(6) Install and torque the 12 bolts.
Torque: 97 N·m (985 kgf·cm, 71 ft·lbf)
(b) Checking the ring gear runout (See page MX−82).
