29. Using DT 46461 and a small torque wrench, measure the preload of the differential gear. See Special
Tools. From this value deduct the value measured previously. This new value is the preload of the
counter driven gear.
Specification:
The preload for a new bearing is 0.33-0.76 N.m (3.21-6.77 lb in).
The preload for a used bearing is 0.17-0.38 N.m (1.48-3.39 lb in).
30. If the preload of the counter driven gear does not satisfy the specification, select the adjuster shim from
the table below and re-measure the value. Until the value is within the specification, repeat the procedure.
IMPORTANT: When the preload is larger than the specification, select a thinner adjuster
shim. When the preload is smaller than specification, select a thicker
adjuster shim.
