REAR AXLE

_ Preload Adjustment (Cont'd)

7.    Install adjusting cap and aiign any of its slots with hole in spindie. If necessary, tighten lock nut as much as 15 degrees until the hole in spindie is aligned with any slot.

CAUTION:

Do not overtighten wheel bearing nuts, as this can cause wheel bearing seizure.

8.    Turn the hub in both directions two or three times measuring if its turning torque and axial play are within the following ranges. Adjust if

necessary.

Axial play: 0 mm (0 in)

Wheel bearing starting torque:

With a new grease seal 0.29 • 0.93 Nm

(3.0 - 9.5 kg-cm, 2.6 - 8.2 in-lb) or less

When measured at the wheel hub bolt 5.9-18.6 IM

(0.6-1.9 kg, 1.3-4.2 Ib) or less

With a used grease seal 0.29 - 0.93 N m

(3.0 - 9.5 kg-cm, 2.6 - 8.2 in-lb) or less

When measured at the wheel hub bolt 5.9 - 18.6 N

(0.6 - 1.9 kg, 1.3 -4.2 Ib) or less

9.    Correctly measure rotation starting force toward tangential direction against hub bolt. Above figures do not include "dragging" resis-tance. When measuring wheel bearing starting torque, be surę to confirm no "dragging" resistance exists.

Any slightest wheel bearing axial play cannot be tolerated.

10.    Spread cotter pin.
