      Torque:
      263.1 N*m  { 2683 kgf*cm, 194 ft.*lbf, or less }

      Tech Tips

  25. ADJUST DIFFERENTIAL DRIVE PINION PRELOAD


    1. A01FIIVE01
      Text in Illustration
      *a Turn

      Using a torque wrench, measure the preload of the drive pinion.

      Preload (at starting)
      Item Specified Condition
      New bearing 3.7 to 4.4 N*m (38 to 44 kgf*cm, 3 to 3 in.*lbf)
      Reused bearing 2.8 to 3.4 N*m (29 to 34 kgf*cm, 3 to 2 in.*lbf)

      • If the preload is less than the specified minimum value, check the preload while retightening the drive pinion nut by 5 to 10° to adjust it into the specified range.

      • If the preload is less than the specified minimum value even when the tightening torque of the drive pinion nut is greater than the specified maximum value, loosen the nut and check that the threads of the drive pinion nut and drive pinion are not stripped.

      • If the threads are not stripped, replace the bearing spacer. Apply hypoid gear oil LSD to the threads of the drive pinion and repeat the procedure.

  26. INSTALL DIFFERENTIAL CASE ASSEMBLY

    2. Apply FIPG to the side bearing retainer.

      FIPG
      Toyota Genuine Seal Packing 1281, Three Bond 1281 or equivalent

      Tech Tips


      • Apply FIPG in drops, approximately 1 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12 in.) in diameter on the entire surface.

      • Overlap FIPG at least 10 mm (0.39 in.) or more at the beginning and the end of application.

      • Install the carrier cover within 3 minutes after applying FIPG.

      • Do not add oil or drive the vehicle immediately after installing the cover. Leave it for at least an hour. Also, for at least 12 hours, avoid rapid acceleration/deceleration.

      Backlash
      0.08 to 0.16 mm (0.00315 to 0.00629 in.)
