b. Coat the threads of a new nut with hypoid gear oil.
c. Using SST to hold the flange, torque the nut.
SST 09330-00021
Torque: 108 Nm (1,100 kgf-cm, 80 ft. lbs.)
9. ADJUST DRIVE PINION PRELOAD
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive pinion using the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload (at starting): 0.6-1.0 Nm (6-10 kgf-cm, 5.2-8.7 inch lbs.)
If the preload is greater than the specified value, replace the bearing spacer.
If the preload is less than the specified value, retighten the nut 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) a little at a time until the specified preload is
reached.
Torque: 223 Nm (2,275 kgf-cm, 165 ft. lbs.) or less
If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload adjusting procedure. Do not back
off the pinion nut to reduce the preload.
