PRE-INSPECTIONBefore disassembling final drive, perform the following inspection.
^ Total preload
a) Turn drive pinion in both directions several times to seat bearing rollers correctly.

Tool number: ST3127S000 (J25765-A)
Total preload: 1.7 - 2.5 Nm (17 - 25 kg-cm, 15 - 22 inch lbs.)
^ Ring gear to drive pinion backlash
Check backlash of ring gear with a dial indicator at several points. Ring gear-to-drive pinion backlash: 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 inch)
^ Ring gear runout
Check runout of ring gear with a dial indicator.
Runout limit: 0.08 mm (0.0031 inch)
^ Tooth contact
Check tooth contact. Refer to "TOOTH CONTACTS". Adjustment
^ Side gear to pinion mate gear backlash
Measure clearance between side gear thrust washer and differential case with a feeler gauge. Clearance between side gear thrust washer and differential case:
0.10 - 0.20 mm (0.0039 - 0.0079 inch)
