14. Insert Tool into differential case and measure turning torque of
final drive assembly.
+Turn final drive assembly in both directions several times
to seat bearing rollers correctly.
Turning torque of final drive assembly (New bearing):
0.49 - 1.08 N´m (5.0 - 11.0 kg-cm, 4.3 - 9.5 in-lb)
+When old bearing is used again, turning torque will be
slightly less than the above.
+Make sure torque is close to the specified range.

REDUCTION PINION GEAR BEARING PRELOADNJAT0174S02+Be sure to remove final drive assembly before doing this pro-
cedure.
+Using caliper and straightedge, calculate a dimention ªTº
(adjuster shim thickness) in the left figure by the following for-
mula. And adjust the inspection standard for pre-load (rotating
slide torque) as shown below.
T=A±E
Inspection standard for preload:
0.1 - 0.69 N´m (1.1 - 7.0 kg-cm, 0.95 - 6.08 in-lb)

1. Remove transmission case and final drive assembly from con-
verter housing.
2. Select proper thickness of reduction pinion gear bearing
adjusting shim using the following procedures.
a. Place reduction pinion gear on transmission case as shown.
SAT333DA
b. Place idler gear bearing on transmission case.
c. Measure dimensions ªBº, ªCº and ªDº and calculate dimension
ªAº.
A=Dþ(B+C)
ªAº: Distance between the surface of idler gear bear-
ing inner race and the adjusting shim mating surface
of reduction pinion gear.

On-vehicle ServiceNJBR0023OPERATING CHECKNJBR0023S011. Stop engine and depress brake pedal several times. Check
that pedal stroke does not change.
2. Depress brake pedal, then start engine. If pedal goes down
slightly, operation is normal.
AIRTIGHT CHECKNJBR0023S021. Start engine, and stop it after one or two minutes. Depress
brake pedal several times slowly. The pedal should go further
down the first time, and then it should gradually rise thereaf-
ter.
2. Depress brake pedal while engine is running, and stop engine
with pedal depressed. The pedal stroke should not change
after holding pedal down for30 seconds.
