should be 0.5 to 1.3 N·m (5 to 12 in. lbs.). If the turn-
ing torque is too high, install a thicker transfer shaft
preload shim. If the turning torque is too low, install
a thinner transfer shaft preload shim.
CAUTION: A press and special tool 6589 must be
used when staking the transfer shaft nut. Do not use
a hammer and the special tool to stake nut. If a ham-
mer is used; seal, bearing, and/or tool damage may
result. Also the stake will not be seated against the
shaft correctly. This will allow the nut to loosen.
(46) After the correct turning torque is obtained,
use special tool 6589 to stake the new transfer shaft
nut (Fig. 422). Be sure that the tool arms line up
with slots in the transfer shaft. Use a press with the
special tool to make the stakes in the nut.
CAUTION: Failure to stake the transfer shaft nut
correctly may allow the nut to loosen during tran-
saxle operation. This will cause transaxle failure.
(47) At this point the transfer shaft, new oil seals,
pinion depth and transfer shaft preload have been
set. The following steps will set the backlash between
the transfer shaft and the ring gear.
