(g) Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the preload.
SST 09564±32011
Preload (at starting):
0.8 ± 1.6 N´m (8 ± 16 kgf´cm, 6.9 ± 13.9 in.´lbf)
If the preload is not within the specification, remove the trans-
mission case side bearing retainer. Select another shim.
HINT:
The preload will change about 0.3 ± 0.4 N´m (3 ± 4 kgf´cm, 2.6
± 3.5 in.´lbf) with each 0.05 mm (0.0019 in.) change in shim
thickness.
