DRIVE PINION

2.

Install the pinion rear bearing outer race with the drift (A) [SST:
KV38100300 (J-25523)].

3.

Install the pinion front bearing outer race with the drifts.

4.

Install the pinion front bearing inner race to drive pinion with the
drift (A) [SST: ST30901000 (J-26010-01)].
Apply gear oil to the pinion front bearing.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse pinion front bearing.

5.

Install a collapsible spacer to the drive pinion.

CAUTION:

Never reuse collapsible spacer.

6.

Install the pinion rear bearing inner race to pinion sleeve.
Apply gear oil to the pinion rear bearing.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse pinion rear bearing.

7.

Install pinion sleeve oil seal to pinion sleeve with the drift (A)
[SST: ST33400001 (J-26082)].
Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear oil onto
the circumference.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse oil seal.
• Use the drift with larger diameter than outer diameter of

oil seal.

8.

Install companion flange to pinion sleeve assembly with the drift
(A) [SST: ST33200000 (J-26082)].

9.

Apply anti-corrosive oil to the thread and seat of the lock nut,
and adjust the pinion lock nut tightening torque and pinion bear-
ing preload torque, using a preload gauge.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse lock nut.
• If specified preload torque is exceeded, replace the collapsible spacer and tighten again. Never

loosen the pinion lock nut for further preload torque adjustment.

10. Apply multi-purpose grease lightly and evenly onto an O-ring, and install it to the pinion sleeve.

CAUTION:

• Never reuse O-ring.
• When installing O-ring, never use a tool.
• Never damage the pinion sleeve.

11. Assemble the selected pinion sleeve shim.

12. Install the pinion sleeve assembly, and apply anti-corrosive oil onto thread and seats on the mounting

bolts. Tighten to the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-65, "Exploded View"

.

13. Check backlash, tooth contact, total preload and companion flange runout. Refer to 

DLN-69, "Adjust-

ment"

.

CAUTION:

Measure the total preload without the adapter case oil seal.

Adjustment

BACKLASH

1.

Install a bolt to the companion flange.

2.

Fit a dial indicator onto the bolt.

3.

Measure the circumference backlash of the companion flange,
and Check that it satisfies the standard below.

• If measured value is out of the specification, disassemble it to

check and adjust each part.

TOOTH CONTACT

1.

Remove the pinion sleeve assembly. Refer to 

DLN-66, "Disassembly"

.

2.

Apply red lead to the drive gear.

CAUTION:

Apply red lead to both the faces of 3 to 4 gears at 4 loca-
tions evenly spaced on the drive gear.

3.

Install the pinion sleeve shims and pinion sleeve assembly.
Refer to 

DLN-67, "Assembly"

.

4.

Remove the plug on the upper side of the transfer case.
When installing plug, apply sealant on screw part, and tighten it
at the specified torque. Refer to 

DLN-65, "Exploded View"

.

Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to 

GI-22,

"Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

DRIVE PINION

5.

Rotate the companion flange back and forth several times, and
check the drive pinion gear to drive gear tooth contact by view-
ing from the plug hole.

6.

If tooth contact is poorly adjusted, adjust pinion height (dimen-
sion X) in the following manner.
For selecting adjusting shims, refer to the latest parts informa-
tion.
