ening torque first.
 If the preload torque exceeds the specified value, replace
collapsible spacer and tighte n it again to adjust. Never
loosen drive pinion lock nut to adjust the preload torque.
6. Make a stamping for identificati on of front oil seal replacement
frequency. Refer to "IDENTIFICATION STAMP OF REPLACE-
