19. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive pinion
using the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting):
New bearing
1.3 ± 1.9 N´m (13 ± 19 kgf´cm, 11.4 ± 16.7
in.´lbf)
Reused bearing
0.8 ± 1.1 N´m (8 ± 11 kgf´cm, 7.0 ± 9.7 in.´lbf)
If the preload is greater than the specified value, replace the
bearing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specified value, retighten the nut
with a force of 13 N´m (130 kgf´cm, 9 ft´lbf) until the specified
preload is reached.
Torque: 451 N´m (4,600 kgf´cm, 333 ft´lbf) or less
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not loosen the pinion nut to reduce the preload.
20. CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload with the teeth
of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus 0.4 ± 0.6 N´m (4 ± 6 kgf´cm,
3.5 ± 5.2 in.´lbf)
21. CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH
Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear backlash.
Backlash: 0.13 ± 0.18 mm (0.0051 ± 0.0071 in.)
22. RECHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See step 13.)

fit the seating pin into the hole.
Make sure that the seating pin on the lower side of the
rear pneumatic cylinder fits in the hole in the rear
axle.

(1) Lower the vehicle till the tires hit the ground, and
continue lowering slowly until the bottom of the rear
pneumatic cylinder touches the rear axle.
(2) Align the seating pin on the cylinder with the hole in
the rear axle and install the rear pneumatic cylinder
on the rear axle.
NOTICE:
Do not extend the rear pneumatic cylinder by lifting
up the rear axle housing after fitting the seating pin.
