Pinion Bearing Preload Torque

1. Remove the pinion sleeve assembly. Refer to «PINION SLEEVE ASSEMBLY»(ref-234001-S28549241092006052800000).
2. Rotate the companion flange back and forth 2 to 3 times. Check for unusual noise, rotation malfunction, and other malfunctions.
3. Rotate the companion flange at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearing.
4. Using a preload gauge, measure the preload torque of the pinion bearing. Tool number: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A) Preload torque : 0.10 - 0.39 N.m (0.01 - 0.04 kg-m, 1 - 3 in-lb) CAUTION: Every rotational part shall rotate smoothly with the specified gear oil. If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble the pinion sleeve assembly to check and adjust each part.

Total Preload Torque

1. Measure pinion bearing preload torque (P1). Refer to «PINION BEARING PRELOAD TORQUE»(ref-234001-S35304644762006052800000). Pinion bearing preload torque (P1) 0.10 - 0.39 N.m (0.01 - 0.04 kg-m, 1 - 3 in-lb)
2. Install the pinion sleeve shims and pinion sleeve assembly.
3. Rotate the companion flange at least 20 times to check for smooth operation of the bearing.
4. Using the preload gauge, measure the total preload torque. Tool number: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A) Total preload torque With all oil seals P1 + 0.16 - 0.22 N.m (0.016 - 0.023 kg-m, 1.4 -1.9 in-lb) Without transfer case oil seal and adapter case oil seal P1 + 0.06 - 0.12 N.m (0.006 - 0.013 kg-m, 0.6-1.1 in-lb)

1. 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.

Scheme 1

1. Fit a dial indicator onto the companion flange face (inner side of the propeller shaft mounting bolt holes).
2. Rotate the companion flange to check for runout. Runout limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
3. Fit a test indicator to the inner side of the companion flange (socket diameter).
4. Rotate the companion flange to check for runout. Runout limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
5. If the runout value is outside the repair limit, follow the procedure below to adjust. While changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion gear by 90° at a time, check runout and determine which phase angle minimizes the runout. If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, replace the companion flange. If the runout is out of the specification after replacement of companion flange, adjust the assembly status of the pinion bearings and drive pinion gear, or replace the pinion bearings.
