NOTE:



Rotate the companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller
bearings, then measure the starting torque.



If the starting torque exceeds 1.39 N.m (14.2 kgf.cm, 12.3 lbf.in.),
replace the transfer spacer and reassemble the parts. Do not adjust
the starting torque with the locknut loose.



If the tightening torque exceeds 260 N.m (26.5 kgf.m, 192 lbf.ft),
replace the transfer spacer and reassemble the parts.



Write down the measurement of the starting torque, it is used to
measure the total starting torque.

32. Measure the total starting torque using the torque wrench (C).

Total Starting Torque: 1.30-2.47 N.m (13.3-25.2 kgf.cm, 11.5-21.9 lbf.in) + Transfer Driven Gear
Shaft Starting Torque Value (written down in step 25).

33. Remove the transfer holder assembly from the transfer housing.

34. If the measurement is not within the standard, go to step 35.

If the measurement is within the standard, go to step 47.

35. Hold the transfer shaft (A) with a 14 mm hex wrench (B) clamped in a bench vise then loosen the

locknut.
