14. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using SST (or a 36 mm deep socket) and a torque wrench,
measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring
gear in contact.
SST 09229-55010
Total preload (at starting)
Drive pinion preload plus
2JZ-GTE M/T0.4 - 0.6 N´m (4 - 6 kgf´cm, 3.5 - 5.2 in.´lbf)
Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
If the measured preload is less than the specification, replace
the washer of the ring gear's tooth surface side with a thicker
one.
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the
washer of the ring gear's tooth surface side with thinner one.
HINT:
Changing the washer thickness by 0.02 mm (0.0008 in.) will
change the total preload by approx. 0.1 N´m (1 kgf´cm, 0.9
in.´lbf).
15. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT PATTERN
(a) Coat 3 or 4 teeth at 3 different positions on the ring gear
with red lead primer.
(b) Hold the companion flange firmly and rotate the ring gear
in both directions.
(c) Inspect the tooth contact pattern.

New bearing preload (at starting)
2JZ-GTE M/T2.0 - 2.5 N´m (20 - 25 kgf´cm, 17.3 - 21.7 in.´lbf)

Others0.5 - 0.8 N´m (5 - 8 kgf´cm, 4.3 - 6.9 in.´lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the
spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
If the preload is less than the specification, retighten the nut 13
N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf) at a time until the specified preload is
reached.
Maximum torque
2JZ-GTE M/T510 N´m (5,200 kgf´cm, 376 ft´lbf)
Others490 N´m (5,000 kgf´cm, 362 ft´lbf)
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not back off the nut to reduce the preload.
23. CHECK DRIVE PINION SHAFT RUNOUT
Measure the drive pinion shaft runout.
Maximum runout: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
