12. INSTALL BEARING CAPS
Align the matchmarks on the bearing cap and carrier. Screw in
the 2 bearing cap bolts 2 or 3 turns and press down the bearing
cap by hand.
HINT:
If the bearing cap does not fit tightly on the carrier, the adjusting
nuts are not engaged properly. Reinstall the adjusting nuts if
necessary.
13. ADJUST SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
(a) Torque the 4 bolts.
Torque: 83 N´m (850 kgf´cm, 61 ft´lbf)
(b) Then loosen them to the point where the adjusting nuts
can be turned by SST.
SST 09504-0001 1
(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.

(h) Using the SST, torque the adjusting nut 1 - 1.5 notches
from the zero preload position.
(i) Using a dial indicator, adjust the ring gear backlash until
it is within the specified value.
Backlash: 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 in.)
HINT:
The backlash is adjusted by turning the right and left adjusting
nuts equal amounts. For example, loosen the nut on the left
side 1 notch and torque the nut on the right side 1 notch.
(j) Torque the 4 bolts.
Torque: 83 N´m (850 kgf´cm, 61 ft´lbf)
(k) After rotating the ring gear 5 turns or more, recheck the
ring gear backlash.
Backlash: 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 in.)
14. MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of
the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
Preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus
0.38 - 0.63 N´m (3.9 - 6.5 kgf´cm, 3.3 - 5.6 in.´lbf)
15. INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION
(a) Coat 3 or 4 teeth at 3 different positions on the ring gear
with red lead primer.
(b) Turn the companion flange, in both directions to inspect
the ring gear for proper tooth contact.
