SST
Disassembly/Assembly
1. Disassemble in the order shown in the figure, referring to Disassembly Note.
2. Assemble in the reverse order of disassembly, referring to Assembly Procedure.
Disassembly Note
Locknut
1. Secure the SST and the idler gear assembly in a vise.
2. Remove the locknut.
Bearing Race
Remove the bearing race from the idler gear by using the SST.
Assembly Procedure
1. Press the new bearing race in by using the SST.
2. Install the bearing onto the idler gear shaft, then install the idler gear, spacer, and bearing.
3. Secure the SST and the idler gear assembly in a vise.
4. Install the locknut.
Tightening torque: 128 - 176 Nm (13.0 - 18.0 kgf-m, 95 - 130 ft. lbs.)
5. Apply ATF to a new O-ring and install it onto the idler gear shaft.
O-ring inner diameter: 33.0 mm (1.30 inch)
6. Secure the idler gear in a vise.
7. Use the SST to measure the bearing preload at the point that the idler shaft starts to turn.
Preload: 0.03 - 0.88 Nm (0.3 - 9.0 kgf-cm, 0.3 - 7.8 inch lbs.)
Pull scale reading: 0.3 - 8.8 N (0.03 - 0.90 kgf, 0.07 - 1.98 lbf)
8. If the specified preload cannot be obtained within the specified tightening torque, adjust by selecting the proper adjustment spacers from below. A thicker spacer reduces the preload, and a thinner spacer increases the preload.
