DLN

Apply anti-corrosion oil to the thread and seat of new drive pin-
ion lock nut, and temporarily tighten drive pinion lock nut to drive
pinion.

CAUTION:

Never reuse drive pinion lock nut.

Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust total preload torque.

CAUTION:

• Adjust to the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tight-

ening torque first.

• If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace

collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust. Never
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.

Fit a dial indicator onto the companion flange face (inner side of
the propeller shaft mounting bolt holes).

Rotate the companion flange to check for runout.

Fit a test indicator to the inner side of the companion flange
(socket diameter).

Rotate the companion flange to check for runout.

10. If the runout value is outside the repair limit, follow the procedure below to adjust.

Check for runout while changing the phase between companion flange and drive pinion gear by 90

step,

and search for the position where the runout is the minimum.

If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the phase has been changed, possible cause will be an
assembly malfunction of drive pinion and pinion bearing and malfunction of pinion bearing. Check for
these items and repair if necessary.

If the runout value is still outside of the limit after the check and repair, replace companion flange.

11. Make a stamping for identification of front oil seal replacement frequency. Refer to “Identification stamp of

replacement frequency of front oil seal”.

CAUTION:

Never make a stamping after replacing front oil seal.

12. Install propeller shaft. Refer to

DLN-86, "Removal and Installation"

A: Preload gauge [SST: ST3127S000 (J-25765-A)]

Total preload torque

: Total preload torque
should equal the measure-
ment taken during removal
plus an additional 0.1 – 0.4
N·m (0.01 – 0.04 kg-m, 1 – 3
in-lb).

Limit

FRONT OIL SEAL

13. Install side flange with the following procedure.

Attach the protector [SST: KV38107900 (J-39352)] to side oil
seal.

After the side flange is inserted and the serrated part of side
gear has engaged the serrated part of flange, remove the pro-
tector.

Put a suitable drift on the center of side flange, then drive it until sound changes.
NOTE:
When installation is completed, driving sound of the side flange turns into a sound which seems to affect
the whole final drive.

Confirm that the dimension of the side flange (1) installation
(Measurement A) in the figure comes into the following.

14. Install drive shaft. Refer to

RAX-9, "Removal and Installation"

15. Install rear wheel sensor. Refer to

BRC-100, "Removal and

Installation"

16. Install center muffler. Refer to

EX-5, "Removal and Installation"

17. Refill gear oil to the final drive and check oil level. Refer to

DLN-

226, "Refilling"

18. Check the final drive for oil leakage. Refer to
