ADJUSTMENT OF PINION HEIGHT
Adjust the drive pinion height according to the following procedures:
1. Install the drive pinion inner and outer bearing races to the special tool in sequence shown in the illustration.
NOTE Apply a thin coat of the multipurpose grease on the mating face of the washer of the special tool.
2. Tighten the nut of the special tool slowly until the standard value of drive pinion turning torque is obtained.
3. Measure the drive pinion turning torque (without the oil seal) using the special tool.
STANDARD VALUE:
NOTE
^
Gradually tighten the nut of the special tool while checking the drive pinion turning torque.
^
Because the special tool cannot be turned one rotation, turn it several times within the range that it can be turned. After obtaining smooth
bearing operation, measure the rotation torque.
4. Position the special tool in the side bearing seat of the gear carrier and select a drive pinion rear shim of a thickness which corresponds to the gap
between the special tools.
