torque to previously measured wormshaft bearing pre
load but do not exceed a combined total of 14 inch-
pounds (2 N«m) drag torque.
On used gears (400 or more miles), add 4 to 5 inch-
pounds (0.5 to 0.6 N«m) torque to previously measured
wormshaft bearing preload but do not exceed a com
bined total of 14 inch-pounds (2 N«m) drag torque.
(7) Tighten pitman shaft adjuster screw locknut af
ter adjusting overcenter drag torque. Tighten locknut to
20 foot-pounds (27 N»m) torque. Use hex wrench to
prevent adjuster from turning while tightening adjuster
