12.

MEASURE TOTAL PRELOAD

Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload with the teeth
of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.

Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus 0.4 – 0.6 N·m (4 – 6 kgf·cm,

13.

INSPECT TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION

(a)

Coat 3 or 4 teeth at three different positions on the ring

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):
New bearing
1.3 – 1.9 N·m (13 – 19 kgf·cm, 11.4 – 16.7
 in.·lbf)
Reused bearing
0.8 – 1.1 N·m (8 – 11 kgf·cm, 7.0 – 9.7 in.·lbf)

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
with a force of 13 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) until the specified
preload is reached.

Torque: 451 N·m (4,600 kgf·cm, 333 ft·lbf) or less

If the maximum torque is exceeded while retightening the nut,
replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure.
Do not loosen the pinion nut to reduce the preload.

20.

CHECK TOTAL PRELOAD

Using a torque wrench, measure the total preload with the teeth
of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.

Total preload (at starting):
Drive pinion preload plus 0.4 – 0.6 N·m (4 – 6 kgf·cm,
3.5 – 5.2 in.·lbf)

21.

CHECK RING GEAR BACKLASH

Using a dial indicator, measure the ring gear backlash.

Backlash: 0.13 – 0.18 mm (0.0051 – 0.0071 in.)

22.

RECHECK TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN RING GEAR
AND DRIVE PINION (See step 13.)
