Checking friction torque
A - Torque gauge, commercially available 0-600
Ncm (0-50 in lb)
B - Socket (41 mm AF)
- Moisten bearings beforehand with ATF.
The friction torque of new tapered roller bearings
must be 180-220 Ncm (16-20 in lb) greater than the
friction torque at the drive pinion.
- Moisten bearings beforehand with ATF.
Example:
Drive pinion (from measurement)
Input gear (average)
Friction torque of input gear

+ drive pinion
