HINT:
^ Using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 160 mm (6.3 inch).
^ This torque value is effective in case that SST is parallel to torque wrench.
^ If the preload is not sufficient, adjust the driven pinion by tightening the lock nut by 5° to 10° and measuring the preload until the preload is with in the standard value.
