tion of the bearing.
16. Tighten to drive pinion lock nut, while adjust pinion bearing pre-
load torque.
CAUTION:
lAdjust the lower limit of the drive pinion lock nut tighten-
ing torque first.
lIf the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace collapsible spacer and tighten it again
to adjust. Never loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
lAfter adjustment, rotate drive pinion back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, rota-
tion malfunction, and other malfunctions.
