18. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PRELOAD |
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
- Preload (Starting Torque):
Item
| Specified Condition
|
New bearing
| 1.0 to 1.5 N*m (10 to 16 kgf*cm, 9 to 13 in.*lbf)
|
Reused bearing
| 0.5 to 0.7 N*m (6 to 7 kgf*cm, 5 to 6 in.*lbf)
|
- If the result is not as specified, adjust the preload (HILUX_TGN26 RM0000010MO01RX_01_0012.html).
19. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD |
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
- Standard total preload (starting torque):
