Cherokee 4WD LHD L6-4.0L VIN S (2001)
6. Using yoke Holder 6719A tighten shaft nut to 285 Nm (210 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 23). Rotate the pinion several revolutions to ensure the bearing rollers
are seated.
7. Rotate the pinion using an inch pound torque wrench. Rotating torque should be equal to the reading recorded during removal, plus an additional
0.56 Nm (5 inch lbs.) (Fig. 24).
CAUTION: Never loosen pinion nut to decrease pinion gear bearing rotating torque and never exceed specified preload torque. If preload torque
is exceeded a new collapsible spacer must be installed.
8. If the rotating torque is low, use Holder 6719A (Fig. 23) and tighten the pinion nut in 6.8 Nm (5 ft. lbs.) increments until proper rotating torque is
achieved.
NOTE: The bearing rotating torque should be constant during a complete revolution of the pinion. If the rotating torque varies, this indicates a
binding condition.
