4. Adjust friction torque of drive pinion bearing as follows:
a. Mount pin wrench (040) and 41 mm wrench socket (040a) on the joint flange (41) and carefully tighten the hexagon collared nut in steps until
the specified friction torque of 225-250 Ncm is reached
b. During each tightening step of the the hexagon collared nut, turn the drive pinion several time and ensure by applying light blows to the rear
axle housing that the tapered rollers are properly balanced in the track.
c. After each tightening step of the the hexagon collared nut, mount the torque meter tool No. 001 589 49 21 00 (040b) with connecting piece
tool No. 100 589 02 59 00 (040c), or equivalents on the 41 mm wrench socket (040a) and rotate drive pinion at approx. 60 rpm, reading off
the friction torque.
d. If the specified friction torque is exceeded. remove the drive pinion again and install a new spacer sleeve.
