12) Using special tool and hammer, drive new oil seal (1) into dif-
ferential carrier. Then apply grease to oil seal lip.

13) While tightening companion flange nut gradually with special
tool and wrench, set preload of drive bevel pinion bearing to
specification.
NOTE:
• Before taking measurement, check for smooth rotation
with turning drive bevel pinion 15 revolutions or more
by hand.
• Drive bevel pinion bearing preload is adjusted by tight-
ening companion flange nut to deform spacer.
Therefore, be sure to use a new spacer for adjustment
and tighten companion flange nut step by step and
check for starting torque (preload) as often as tighten-
ing to prevent over crushing of spacer.
If exceeds specification given below during adjust-
ment, replace spacer and repeat preload adjustment
procedure. Attempt to decrease starting torque (pre-
load) by loosening companion flange nut will not do.
• Measure drive bevel pinion bearing preload while turn-
ing drive bevel pinion about 50 rpm.
