Model RE4F04V






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. Tighten transmission case fixing bolts to the specified torque.





5. Set Tool on differential case at converter housing side and attach dial indicator on Tool.
6. Insert the other Tool into viscous coupling 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). Refer to the illustration.
Suitable shim thickness = Dial indicator deflection + Specified bearing preload
Bearing preload: 0.05 - 0.09 mm (0.0020 - 0.0035 inch)





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).
13. Reinstall converter housing on transmission case and tighten transmission case fixing bolts to the specified torque.





14. Insert Tool into viscous coupling 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 Nm (6.9 - 12.2 inch lbs.)
^ When old bearing is used again, turning torque will be slightly less than the above.
^ Make sure torque is close to the specified range.
