14. INSTALL REAR DRIVE PINION COMPANION FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY |
Using SST, install the rear drive pinion companion flange sub-assembly.
- SST
- 09950-30012(09951-03010,09953-03010,09954-03010,09955-03030,09956-03040)
- NOTICE:
- Before using SST (center bolt), apply hypoid gear oil to its threads and tip.
Using SST to hold the companion flange in place, then slowly tighten a new nut within the drive pinion preload adjustment range so that it reaches the specified drive pinion preload (at Starting).
- SST
- 09330-00021(09330-00030)
- Limit Torque Value:
- 457 N*m (4660 kgf*cm, 337ft.*lbf) or less
15. INSPECT DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PRELOAD |
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload.
- Standard Preload (at Starting):
Item
| Specified Condition
|
New bearing
| 0.83 to 2.18 N*m (9 to 22 kgf*cm, 8 to 19 in.*lbf)
|
Used bearing
| 0.88 to 1.98 N*m (9 to 20 kgf*cm, 8 to 17 in.*lbf)
|
If the result is not as specified, adjust the preload.
16. INSPECT TOTAL PRELOAD |
Using a torque wrench, measure the preload with the teeth of the drive pinion and ring gear in contact.
- Standard Drive Pinion Preload (at Starting):
Item
| Specified Condition
|
New bearing
| 1.03 to 2.58 N*m (11 to 26 kgf*cm, 10 to 22 in.*lbf)
|
Used bearing
| 1.08 to 2.38 N*m (12 to 24 kgf*cm, 10 to 21 in.*lbf)
|
