(j) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
0.8 – 1.6 N·m (8 – 16 kgf·cm, 6.9 – 13.9 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.5 – 1.0 N·m (5 – 10 kgf·cm, 4.3 – 8.7 in.·lbf)
If the preload is not within the specification, select an appropri-
ate adjusting shim.
The preload will change about 0.4 – 0.5 N·m (4 – 5 kgf·cm, 3.5
– 4.3 in.·lbf) for every 0.05 mm change in adjusting shim thick-
ness.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT 3RD GEAR SYNCHRONIZER RING
(a) Check for wear or damage.
(b) Check the braking effect of the synchronizer ring. Turn the
synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing it to the
gear cone. Check that the ring locks.
If it does not lock, replace the synchronizer ring.
(c) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.
Minimum clearance: 0.7 mm (0.028 in.)
If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchro-
nizer ring.
2. INSPECT 4TH GEAR SYNCHRONIZER RING
(a) Check for wear or damage.
(b) Check the braking effect of the synchronizer ring. Turn the
synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing it to the
gear cone. Check that the ring locks.
If the braking effect is insufficient, apply a small amount of the
fine lapping compound between the synchronizer ring and gear
cone. Lightly rub the synchronizer ring and gear cone together.
NOTICE:
Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed
off after rubbing.
(c) Check again the braking effect of the synchronizer ring.
(d) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the synchronizer ring back and spline end.
Minimum clearance: 0.8 mm (0.031 in.)
If the clearance is less than the minimum, replace the synchro-
nizer ring, and apply a small amount of the fine lapping com-
pound on gear cone.
NOTICE:
Ensure the fine lapping compound is completely washed
off after rubbing.

2. INSPECT 2ND GEAR SYNCHRONIZER RING
(a) Check for wear or damage.
(b) Check the braking effect of the synchronizer ring.
Turn the synchronizer ring in one direction while pushing
it to the gear cone. Check that the ring locks.
If it does not lock, replace the synchronizer ring.
(c) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the synchronizer ring back and gear spline end.

LOAD
(a) Install a new lock nut to the output shaft.
(b) Turn the output shaft right and left 2 or 3 times to allow the
bearings to settle.
(c) Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing (Output shaft preload plus)
0.2 – 0.3 N·m (1.8 – 3.5 kgf·cm, 1.6 – 3.0 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing (Output shaft preload plus)
0.1 – 0.2 N·m (1.1 – 2.2 kgf·cm, 1.0 – 1.9 in.·lbf)
If the preload is not within the specification, select an appropri-
ate adjusting shim.
HINT:
The total preload will change by about 0.1 – 0.2 N·m (1 – 2
kgf·cm, 0.9 – 1.7 in.·lbf) with each 0.05 mm change in adjusting
shim thickness.

REMOVAL
NOTICE:
The hub bearing could be damaged if it is subjected
to the vehicle weight, such as when moving the ve-
hicle with the drive shaft removed.
Therefore, if it is absolutely necessary to place the ve-
hicle weight on the hub bearing, first support it with
the SST.
