Visual Check
Inspect the following parts for wear, damage, or other
abnormal conditions.



Ring Gear Replacement
(1) The ring gear should always be replaced with the drive
pinion as a set.
(2) When installing the ring gear, apply LOCTITE 271 o
r
equivalent to the threaded hole and bolt.
(3) Tighten the fixing bolts in a diagonal sequence as
illustrated.
(4) Discard used bolts and install new ones.
