in four to six seconds to check the total pinion torque and the change in torque.
Standard value:
Total pinion torque: 0.8 - 1.9 N.m (7.1 - 16.8 in-lb)
[Change in torque: 0.7 N.m (6.2 in-lb) or less]
2. If the total pinion torque or the change in torque is outside the standard value,
loosen the adjust screw once and retighten it to the specified torque 5.4 +/- 0.5
N.m (48 +/- 4 in-lb). Loosen the adjust screw 20 - 40 degrees, and adjust the
pinion torque again.
CAUTION: When adjusting, set at the highest value of the
standard value range.
NOTE: If the total pinion toque cannot be adjusted to the
standard value within the standard range, replace the
