roller bearing will not turn easily.
3) After fitting a new O-ring to the shaft, attach the
drive pinion collar to the shaft.
4) Tighten the new lock nuts using ST1, ST2 and
ST3.
Using the following equation, calculate the tighten-
ing torque.
T2 = L2/(L1 + L2) × T1
T1: 116 N·m (11.8 kgf-m, 85.3 ft-lb)
[Required torque setting]
T2: Tightening torque

NOTE:
Attach ST2 to torque wrench as straight as possi-
ble.
5) Measure the starting torque of the bearing. Make
sure the starting torque is within the specified
range. If the torque is not within specified range, re-
place the roller bearing.
