Highlander 4WD V6-3.5L (2GR-FE) (2008)
HINT
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 160 mm (6.30 in.).
NOTE
Measure the torque after rotating the bearing in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions to make it fit.
B. If the preload is too large replace the bearing spacer with a NEW one.
C. If the preload is too small repeatedly adjust the preload by tightening the lock nut 5 - 10 degrees at a time until the standard value is obtained.
D. If the preload is insufficient even though the tightening torque of the lock nut exceeds the maximum of the standard value loosen the lock nut and
apply gear oil SAE 90 (GL-5) to the lock nut and the screw thread and base of the driven pinion. Then repeat the preceding operation. If the
tightening torque is smaller than the standard replace the bearing spacer with a NEW one and adjust it.
