Torque ................................................................................................................................................................. 147 Nm (1,500 kgf-cm, 109 ft-lbf)
8. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting) .................................................................................................................................. 0.5-0.8 Nm (5-8 kgf-cm, 4.3-6.9 in.-lbf)
-
If the preload is greater than the specification, replace the bearing spacer.
-
If the pre load is less than the specification, retig- hten the nut 13 N-m (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) a little at a time until the specified preload is
reached.
Maximum torque ................................................................................................................................................ 451 Nm (4,600 kgf-cm, 333 ft-lbf)
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the pre load procedure. Do not back off the
nut to reduce the preload.
