Turning Torque of Spiral Bevel Pinion Shaft (Pinion Shaft Only)
1. Install the spiral bevel pinion shaft assembly only to the front
axle case.
2. Measure the turning torque of spiral bevel pinion shaft.
3. If the turning torque is not within the factory specifications,
adjust with the lock nut.
• After turning torque adjustment, be sure to stake the lock
nut.

Backlash between Spiral Bevel Pinion Shaft and Spiral Bevel
Gear
1. Set a dia gauge (lever type) with its finger on the spline of spiral
bevel pinion shaft.
2. Measure the backlash be moving the spiral bevel pinion shaft by
hand lightly.
3. If the backlash is not within the factory specifications, select the
adjusting collar (3).
4. Adjust the backlash properly by repeating the above
procedures.
(Reference)
• Above factory specification should be measured on the tooth of
spiral bevel pinion. When measuring the backlash on the spline
of its shaft, factory specification will be 0.05710 to 0.1714 mm
(0.002248 to 0.006748 in.).
