Differential Side Bearing Preload

1. Install differential side bearing outer race without adjusting shim on transmission case.
2. Install differential side bearing outer race on converter housing.




3. Place final drive assembly on transmission case.
4. Install transmission case on converter housing and tighten transmission case fixing bolts to the specified torque.




5. Attach dial indicator on differential case at converter housing side.
6. Insert Tool into differential side gear from transmission case side.
7. Move Tool up and down and measure dial indicator deflection.
8. Select proper thickness of differential side bearing adjusting shim(s).
Suitable shim thickness = Dial indicator deflection + Specified bearing preload

Differential side bearing adjusting shim: Differential Side Bearing Preload Adjusting Shims

Bearing preload: 0.05 - 0.09 mm (0.0020 - 0.0035 in)




9. Remove converter housing from transmission case.
10. Remove final drive assembly from transmission case.
11. Remove differential side bearing outer race from transmission case.
12. Reinstall differential side bearing outer race and shim(s) selected from transmission case. Differential Side Bearing Preload Adjusting Shims
13. Reinstall converter housing on transmission case and tighten transmission case fixing bolts to the specified torque.




14. Insert Tool into differential side gear and measure turning torque of final drive assembly.
- Turn final drive assembly in both directions several times to seat bearing rollers correctly.

Turning torque of final drive assembly (New bearing): 0.78 - 1.37 N.m (8.0 - 14.0 kg-cm, 6.9 - 12.2 in-lb)

- When old bearing is used again, turning torque will be slightly less than the above.
- Make sure torque is close to the specified position.
