- Using SST and a torque wrench, measure the rotating torque of the differential.
SST 09564-32011
Rotating torque at 60 rpm:
New bearing:
0.20 to 1.0 N*m (2.0 to 10.2 kgf*cm, 1.8 to 8.9 in.*lbf)
Used bearing:
0.10 to 0.50 N*m (1.0 to 5.1 kgf*cm, 0.9 to 4.4 in.*lbf)
HINT:
If the rotating torque is not within the specified range, refer to the table below to select a thrust washer so that the rotating torque is within the specified range.
