Pinion Shaft Turning Torque
After installing correct pinion adjusting shims, check turning torque of pinion shaft. Turning torque for all models should be 22-49 INCH lbs. (2.5-5.5 Nm). If turning torque is incorrect, recheck shim thicknesses for proper bearing preload. See Fig 1 .
NOTE:
Turning torque value is for new bearings only. If used bearings are reinstalled, turning torque should be same as that measured before disassembly.
Turning torque should be 22-49 INCH lbs. (2.5-5.5 Nm) with new bearings
