Bearing Preload
Adjust
the bearing preload according to the follow-
ing procedures.
1. Insert the bearing and spacer into the knuckle and
attach SST.
Note
Use the removed spacer.
2. Measure the bearing preload after the
SST
is
tightened.
Tightening torque:
196 N.m I20 m-ka. 145 g-lb)
Bearing p&load (Rztation starting torque)
0.25-l .18 N.m
(2.5-12.0 cm-kg, 2.17-10.42 in-lb)
As measured at caliper mounting hole of
knuckle
13 inch wheel
2.4-11.4 N (0.24-1.16 kg, 0.53-2.55 lb)
14 inch wheel
2.2-10.6 N (0.22-1.07
kg, 0.48-2.35 lb)
Note
When tightening, torque in steps of 49 N.m
(5.0 m-kg, 36.2 ft-lb) each time.
3. If the preload is not within specification, adjust it.
4. Use the table and select the proper spacer to ad-
just the preload.
Note
Increase the spacer thickness when the
preload is too high and decrease it when the
preload is too low. When a spacer is changed
by 1 rank, the preload changes 0.2 to 0.4
N.m (2.0 to 4.0 cm-kg, 1.7 to 3.5 in-lb).
The marking is stamped on the outer periph-
ery of the spacer.
