20. Apply ATF to the new 28 mm O-ring (A) then install the new 28 mm O-ring, the 28 mm backup ring (B) the 27 mm spring washer (C) and the
new 27 mm locknut (D).
21. Install the companion flange holder (A) to the companion flange, then tighten the locknut (left-hand threads).
22. Rotate the drive pinion several times to assure proper tapered roller bearing contact. Measure the drive pinion turning torque.
-
If the drive pinion turning torque exceeds the standard, replace the pinion spacer.
-
If the drive pinion turning torque is less than the standard, adjust by tightening the locknut a little at a time, but keep the torque within 186-353
N-m (19.0-36.0 kgf-m, 137-260 lbf-ft). If this is not possible, replace the pinion spacer.
