Veracruz FWD V6-3.8L (2009)
(2) Measure dimension Ev.
(3) Tighten HEX lock nut.
(4) Measure the drag torque of the pinion assembly. Target is 180-210Ncm. To achieve the target preload torque, it is permissible to gradually
increase the tightening torque.
CAUTION:
If the permissible preload torque of 210Ncm is exceeded, it is not allowed to loosen Hex lock nut. Disassemble the whole pinion assembly.
Replace the collapsible spacer and repeat the mounting procedure.
(5) Measure dimension En.
(6) Check preload. A preload torque of 180 to 210 Ncm corresponds to a bearing preload of 0.12 to 0.16mm.
Ev-En-B=0.12 to 0.16mm
CAUTION:
Twice use of collapsible spacer is not permitted(Permanent deformation).
4. Assemble the O-ring and select the proper spacer later when reassembling the transfer case.
