Total Preload Torque

Measure pinion bearing preload torque (P1). Refer to PINION BEARING PRELOAD TORQUE .
1. Pinion bearing preload torque (P1)
2. 0.10 - 0.39 N.m (0.01 - 0.04 kg-m, 1 - 3 in-lb)
Install the pinion sleeve shims and pinion sleeve assembly.
Rotate the companion flange at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearing.
Using the preload gauge, measure the total preload torque.
1. Tool number: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)
2. Total preload torque
3. With all oil seals
  1. P1 + 0.16 - 0.22 N.m (0.016 - 0.023 kg-m, 1.4 -1.9 in-lb)
4. Without transfer case oil seal and adapter case oil seal
  1. P1 + 0.06 - 0.12 N.m (0.006 - 0.013 kg-m, 0.6-1.1 in-lb)

If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to check and adjust each part. If measuring the total preload torque after the disassembly, measure it with the transfer case oil seals and gear ring oil seals removed, then install the oil seals.
