INSTALLATION OF DRIVE PINION ASSEMBLY
1. Press-fit front and rear bearing outer races with Tools.
Tool number A............................ST30611000 (J25742-1)
Tool number B............................ST30621000 (J25742-5)
Tool number C ............................ST30613000 (J25742-3)







2. Select drive pinion height adjusting washer.
3. Install drive pinion adjusting washer in drive pinion, and press-fit pinion rear bearing inner cone in it, with press and Tool.

Tool number :.........................ST30901 000 (J26010-01)







4. Place pinion front bearing inner cone in gear carrier.







5. Apply multi-purpose grease to cavity at sealing lips of oil seal. Install front oil seal.

Tool number A ..............................ST30720000 (J25405)
Tool number B .................................KV38102510 ( - )







6. Install drive pinion bearing spacer, pinion bearing adjusting shim and drive pinion in gear carrier.







7. Install ABS sensor unit and sensor rotor (2WID models).

ABS sensor unit bolt :...................8 - 11 Nm (0.8 - 1.1 kgf-cm, 5.8 - 8.0 ft. lbs.)

8. Insert companion flange onto drive pinion. Tap the companion flange with a soft hammer until fully seated







9. Tighten pinion nut until total preload is within specification.
The threaded portion of drive pinion and pinion nut should be free from oil or grease.

Tool number .............................KV38108300 (J-44195)

Pinion nut ........................127 - 294 Nm (13.0 - 30.0 kgf-cm, 94 - 217 ft. lbs.)
Pinion preload : ........................1.2 - 2.2 Nm (12 - 22 kgf-cm, 10 - 19 inch lbs.)







10. Turn drive pinion in both directions several times, and measure pinion bearing preload using Tool.

Tool number : ........................ST3127SO00 (J25765-A)

Pinion bearing preload (With front oil seal) : .......................1.4 - 1.7 Nm (14 - 17 kgf-cm, 12 - 15 inch lbs.)
Pinion bearing preload (Without front oil seal) : ...............................1.2 - 1.5 Nm (12 - 15 kgf-cm, 10 - 13 inch lbs.)

If preload is out of specification, adjust the thickness of spacer and shim combination by replacing shim and spacer with thinner one.

Drive Pinion Preload Adjustment / Rear - H233B:

- Start from the combination of thickest spacer and shim.
- Combine each spacer and shim thickness one by one until the correct specification are achieved.
