7.3.1 Assembly of Front Axle Assembly
1 Apply lithium grease to the bush of the front and rear brackets for assembly.
2 Screw and crimp the nut in the condition which the front bracket is set with slight backlash, none
excessive.
3 Apply adhesives equivalent to Alteco CN4 to the breather pipe and press it.
4 Assembly of Pinion Shaft
1. Adjust the preload for pinion shaft within 0.39 to
0.59N•m {4 to 6kgf•cm, 28.9 to 43.4lbf•ft} (at oil
seal assembling) by tightening the nut.
Crimp the nut after adjustment.
2. Measure the H measurement and adjust to have H -
16mm {0.63in} = Liner Thickness with the liner
"J".
3. Placing direction of the oil seal for pinion shaft
shall be as shown in the figure. (Spring stays
inside.)
(Unit: mm {in})
5 Assembly of Deferential Case Assembly
1. Make sure the backlash for the pinion gear and side
gear is within 0.10 to 0.30mm {0.004 to 0.012in}.
2. Apply adhesives equivalent to Threebond #1374 to
the locking bolt for the ring gear and tighten with
torque at 68.6 to 78.5N•m {7 to 8kgf•cm, 50.6 to
57.9lbf•ft}.
3. Place the spring pin with the slit toward as shown in
the figure. (Vertical to the shaft)
4. Apply lubricant (MOS
2
) to the gears and assemble
it.
CAUTION
As an easier method for measuring the preload,
after temporarily tightening the nut, wind the shaft
of pinion shaft with rope and pull with spring
balance. (F = 39.2 - 58.8N {4.0 to 6.0kgf, 8.8 -
13.2lbf})
