tlghtemng
Install the case cover and tighten the bolts in several
steps until the cover evenly touches the gear case.
Then, while rotating the pinion gear, tighten the
bolts to the specified torque in a cr isscross pattern
in several steps.
TORQUE : 10 mm bo lt: 46.5 N 'm (4.7 kgf·m , 34 Ibf.ttJ
8 mm bott: 25 N'm (2.6 kgf·m , 19 Ibf.tt)
Remove the oil filler cap.
Rotate the ring gear several times in both di rections
of rotation.
Check the gear tooth contact pattern through the oil
filler hole.
The pattern is indicated by the Prussian Blue
applied to the pinion.
Contact is normal if the Prussian Blue is transferred
to the approximate center of each tooth, but slightly
to the heel side and to the flank side.
If the patterns are not correct, remove and change
the pinion shim with one of an alternate thickness.
Replace the pinion shim with a thicker one if the
contact pattern is too high, toward the face.
Replace the pinIOn shim with a thinner one if the
contact pattern is too low, toward the flank.
The pattern will shift about 0.5 - 1.0 mm (0.02 - 0.04
in) when the thickness of the shim is changed by
0.12 mm (0.005).
NOTE:
• Fifteen different thickness shims (from A to 0)
are available in thickness increments of 0.06 mm
(0.002 in).
