FINAL DRIVE 12-17
Front Final Gear Case
If the preload is out of the specified range, replace the
collar and/or shim(s).
○
To increase preload, decrease the size of the shim(s)
or collar. To decrease preload, increase the size of the
shim(s) or collar.
○
Change the thickness a little at a time.
•
Recheck the bearing preload, and readjust as necessary.
•
Measure the bearing preload using a spring scale.
Using S p r in g Scale
Pinion Gear Bearing Pre lo ad:
1.5 ∼ 3.0 N (0.15 ∼ 0.31 kgf, 0.34 ∼ 0.67 lb)
○
Hook the spring scale [A] on the handle at a point 200
mm (7.87 in.) [B] apart from the center of the gear shaft.
Hold the bearing housing in a vise so that the gear shaft
is vertical.
○
Apply force to the handle horizontally and at a right angle
to it.

•
Measure the bearing preload using a torque wrench [A].
Using Torque Wrench
Pinion Gear Bearing Preload Torque:
0.3 ∼ 0.6 N·m (0.0 3 ∼ 0.06 kgf·m, 2.6 ∼ 5.2 in·lb)

Backlash Adjustment
•
Check and adjust the gear backlash when any of the
backlash-related parts are replaced with new ones.
•
Clean any dirt and oil off the bevel gear teeth.
•
Assemble the front final gear case (see Front Final Gear
Case Assembly). Do not install the O-rings during adjust-
ment.
○
Check the backlash during tightening of the ring gear
cover bolts and stop tightening them immediately if the
backlash disappears. Then, change the ring gear shim
to a thinner one.
•
Set up a dial gauge against a ring gear tooth to check gear
backlash s hown.
•
To measure the backlash, move the left front axle (ring
gear side) back and forth while holding the pinion gear
steady. The difference between the highest and the low-
est gauge reading is the amount of backlash.
If the backlash is not within the limit, replace the ring gear
shims. To increase backlash, decrease the thickness of
the s him(s). To decrease backlash, increase the thick-
ness of the shim(s).
○
Change the thickness a little at a time.
•
Recheck the backlash, and readjust as necessary.
