Clean sealing material off the mating
surfaces of the gear case and cover, being
careful not to damage them.
Clean and degrease several teeth on the ring
gear and pinion gear, and then apply a
coating of machinist’s layout dye or paste to
several teeth of the pinion gear.
Install the ring gear with the shims into the
gear case.
Install the case cover.
Install and tighten the case cover bolts in
several steps until the cover evenly touches
the gear case. Then, while rotating the
pinion gear, tighten the bolts to the specified
torque in a crisscross pattern in several
steps.
Torque:
10-mm bolt: 49 N-m (5 kgf-m, 36 lbf-ft)
8-mm bolt: 25 N-m (2.6 kgf-m, 19 lbf-ft)
Keep dust and dirt out of the case and
cover.

It is important to turn the pinion while
tightening the bolts. If the ring gear shim
is too thick, the gears will lock after only
light tightening.
