/Page-1148004.png)
Torque ................................................................................................................................................................... 108 Nm (1,100 kgf-cm, 80 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) ................................................................................................................................ 0.6-1.0 Nm (6-10 kgf-cm, 5.2-8.7 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 ................................................................................................................................................ 235 Nm (2,400 kgf-cm, 174 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.
