Adjust Drive Pinion Preload
Using a torque meter, measure the preload of the backlash between the drive pinion and ring gear.
Preload:
New bearing
19 - 26 kg-cm (16.5-22.6 in.-lb, 1.9-2.5 N-m) Reused bearing
9-13 kg-cm (7.8-11.3 in.-lb, 0.9-1.3 N-m) If preload is greater than the specification, replace the bearing spacer.
(b) If preload is less than specification, retighten the nut 130 kg-cm (9 ft-lb, 13 N-m) at a time until the specified preload is reached. If the maximum torque is exceeded while retlghtenlng the nut, replace the bearing spacer and repeat the preload procedure. Do not back off the pinion nut to reduce the preload.
