When any axial end-play is present in wheel bearing, or bearing preload is lower than the specification, replace spacer with a smaller one. When bearing preload is greater than the specification, replace spacer with a larger one.

Repeat steps 6 through 8 until specified preload is obtained.

10. Insert a new cotter pin, and then bend up.

Push drive shaft, then press-fit circlip on the drive shaft into circlip groove of side gear.

After it is inserted, try to puli flange out of slide joint by hand to make surę circlip is prop-erly meshed with side gear and will not come out.
