8 x 1.25 mm
26 N·m (2.7 kgf·m, 20 lbf·ft)

8. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B)

with soft jaws, then install the companion flange
holder on the companion flange. To prevent
damage to the transfer housing, always use soft
jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer
housing and the vise.

9. Tighten the locknut while measuring the starting

torque of the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear) so
the starting torque is within 1.15

1.71 N·m (11.7

17.4 kgf·cm, 10.2

15.1 lbf·in.).

NOTE: Do not stake the locknut in this step.

10. Apply Prussian Blue to both sides of the transfer

hypoid drive gear teeth lightly and evenly.

11. Install the tapered roller bearing (A), the 25 mm

thrust shim (B), and the transfer hypoid drive gear/
shaft assembly (C) in the transfer housing (D).

12. Install the transfer cover (E) and the bolts, and

tighten the bolts. Do not install the O-ring on the
transfer cover.

13. Rotate the companion flange several times to seat

the tapered roller bearings.

14. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion

flange (B); position dial indicator tip (C) on the
direct extension of the bolt hole center (D).

15. Measure the transfer gear backlash.

16. Remove the transfer cover, the transfer hypoid

drive gear/shaft assembly, and check the transfer
hypoid drive gear tooth contact pattern.

17. If the measurement of the backlash is out of the

standard, adjust the transfer gear backlash with the
40 mm thrust shim and recheck. Do not use more
than two 40 mm thrust shims to adjust the transfer
gear backlash.

18. If the transfer gear tooth contact is incorrect, adjust

the transfer gear tooth contact with the 25 mm or
40 mm thrust shim. Do not use more than two
shims of each thrust shim to adjust the tooth
contact.

• Toe Contact

Use a thinner 40 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer output shaft (hypoid gear) away from the
transfer hypoid drive gear. Because this
movement causes the transfer gear backlash to
change, move the transfer hypoid drive gear
toward the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear) to
adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:
– Reduce the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim.
– Increase the thickness of the 80 mm thrust

shim by amount of reduce thickness of the
25 mm thrust shim.

• Heel Contact

Use a thicker 40 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer output shaft (hypoid gear) toward the
transfer hypoid drive gear. Because this
movement causes the transfer backlash to
change, move the transfer hypoid drive gear
away from the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear)
to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows:
– Increase the thickness of the 25 mm thrust

shim.

– Reduce the thickness of the 80 mm thrust shim

by the amount of increase thickness of the
25 mm thrust shim.

• Flank Contact

Use a thicker 25 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer hypoid drive gear away from the transfer
output shaft (hypoid gear).
Flank contact must be adjusted within the limits
of the transfer gear backlash. If the backlash
exceeds the limits, adjust as described under
Heel Contact.

• Face Contact

Use a thinner 25 mm thrust shim to move the
transfer hypoid drive gear toward the transfer
output shaft (hypoid gear).
Face contact must be adjusted within the limits of
the transfer gear backlash. If the backlash
exceeds the limits, adjust as described under Toe
Contact.

23. Install the two thrust washers (A) and a new

transfer spacer (B) on the transfer output shaft
(hypoid gear) (C) in the direction shown, and install
them in the transfer housing (D).

24. Coat the threads of the locknut and transfer output

shaft (hypoid gear) with ATF.

25. Install the companion flange (A), a new O-ring (B),

back-up ring (C), a new conical spring washer (D),
and a new locknut (E) on the transfer output shaft
(hypoid gear) (F). Install the conical spring washer
in the direction shown.

26. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B)

27. Tighten the locknut while measuring the starting

torque of the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear) so
the starting torque is within 1.15

1.71 N·m (11.7

17.4 kgf·cm, 10.2

15.1 lbf·in.).

NOTE:

• Rotate the companion flange several times to

seat the tapered roller bearings, then measure
the starting torque.

• If the starting torque exceeds 1.71 N·m

(17.4 kgf·cm, 15.1 lbf·in), replace the transfer
spacer and reassemble the parts. Do not adjust
the torque with the locknut loose.

• If the tightening torque exceeds 294 N·m

(30.0 kgf·m, 217 lbf·ft), replace the transfer spacer
and reassemble the parts.

28. Remove the companion flange holder.
