(d) Using SST to hold the flange and adjust the drive pinion
preload by tightening the companion flange nut.
SST 09330-00021
NOTICE:
Coat the nut and screw of the drive pinion with gear
oil.
As there is no spacer, tighten the nut a little at a time,
being careful not to overtighten.
(e) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.3 - 1.8 N´m (13 - 19 kgf´cm, 11.5 - 15.9 in.´lbf)

nuts are not engaged properly. Reinstall the adjusting nuts if
necessary.

(c) Tighten the 4 bolts.
Torque: 9.8 N´m (100 kgf´cm, 7 ft´lbf)
(d) Using SST, torque the adjusting nut on the ring gear side
until the ring gear has a backlash of about 0.2 mm (0.008
in.).
(e) While 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.
(f) Place a dial indicator on the top of the adjusting nut on the
ring gear side.
(g) Adjust the side bearing to zero preload by tightening the
other adjusting nut until the pointer on the indicator be-
gins to move.

nuts by equal amount. For example, loosen the nut on the left
side 1 notch and torque the nut on the right side 1 notch.

13. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of
the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
